About Graham Platner Dropping Out and the "Missing Middle"
About this episode
The episode discusses the Graham Platner scandal and the implications of the shrinking 'Missing Middle' population.
The gang convenes to discuss the latest Graham Platner scandal, this time in the form of a sexual assault allegation. Following multiple supporters distancing themselves from Platner, the candidate was heavily rumored to drop out days before the deadline — and, indeed, dropped out hours after this recording. The crew discusses the legacy of Platner's campaign, what's next for Democrats in Maine, and why this was the story that finally sunk his career. Then they turn to the "Missing Middle," as the 45-64 population continues to shrink, potentially causing havoc on both key elements of society and the economy.
