Episode Details

Maine’s Democratic Senate race just exploded — candidate Graham Platner is stepping down amid a sexual assault allegation, forcing the party to scramble for a replacement before July 27. With less than four months until the election and Maine’s swing-state status at stake, Democrats are holding a convention to pick a new nominee — but details are still fuzzy. Top contenders include progressive Troy Jackson, moderate Nirav Shah, beer-company co-founder Dan Kleban, civil liberties champion Shenna Bellows, and several other familiar faces. The clock is ticking, and whoever steps up will face an uphill battle against Republican Senator Susan Collins.
