Washington Week with The Atlantic

Can Democrats salvage the Maine Senate race after Platner?

Season 2026 Episode 28 | 16m 10s

It wasn’t the Nazi tattoo that did in Graham Platner. It was a rape allegation that caused the left-wing of the party to finally give up on their beloved oysterman. The big question for democrats now is how to salvage Maine, which they pretty much have to win to take control of the Senate.
