Tuesday: Platner's Collapse Just Saved the GOP Firewall
On Tuesday, July 7, Graham Platner's Maine Senate campaign implodes overnight after a new sexual assault allegation from a former girlfriend sends Democratic leaders scrambling for cover. Rush and Reagan break down exactly how bad it is, why the party's outrage feels awfully convenient, and what happens next in a race that could decide control of the Senate.
Topics covered: the allegation itself and Platner's denial, the pattern of past controversies (that Nazi-style tattoo, the texts, the Reddit posts) that made this feel inevitable, the Democratic exodus with Khanna and Gallego pulling endorsements while Warren and Sanders stay conspicuously quiet, Maine's tight legal deadlines for replacing him, and whether Susan Collins just got handed a free pass to reelection.
