0:00Here's the latest on Graham Platner, the

0:01main Democrat running to replace Susan

0:03Collins in the Senate after New York

0:04Times story detailed an account of

0:06physical intimidation by an

0:07ex-girlfriend, which Platner has denied.

0:09One Democrat in Congress has said she's

0:11already seen enough. Maline Dean, a

0:14congresswoman from Pennsylvania, told

0:16CNN today that she thinks Platner has

0:18disqualified himself from the race

0:20because of this story and because of

0:22previous things over the last several

0:23months. There's just one problem,

0:25though. The main Senate primary is just

0:274 days away and Platner's opponent has

0:29stopped campaigning months ago. And in

0:31my opinion, that's been the most

0:32overlooked aspect of the race. Janet

0:35Mills, the governor and the handpicked

0:36candidate of Chuck Schumer and the

0:38Democratic establishment, just flopped

0:40in polls, in fundraising, and I think

0:43wasn't a match for a post Joe Biden

0:46Democratic party, particularly

0:47considering she was 78 years old.

0:49Because of that, Platner has been able

0:50to kind of glide to this nomination and

0:53main Democrats are kind of stuck with

0:55him. It's really changed the dynamics of

0:57this race. It was probably originally

0:59going to be focused on Susan Collins and

1:01her relationship to Donald Trump,

1:02considering Trump's unpopularity. Now it

1:05feels like a referendum on Grand

1:06Platner.
