Steele: Platner should step aside amid scandals - The Weeknight - MS NOW



The New York Times spoke with three women who were romantically involved with Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner at different points in his life, reporting allegations of heavy drinking, womanizing and unsettling behavior. One woman described instances of physical intimidation that the Times could not independently corroborate and that Platner's campaign denies. The Weeknight hosts discuss. - Aired on 06/04/2026.

This information about Platner was out there like six months ago and so now it’s just being re hashed again and getting more attention because he’s in front of Susan Collins in polling.

We have to vote for dems to get the country out of this mess

I am sure the MAGAts and right wingers will go relentlessly out for him.

But the Felon never even considered withdrawing from the Presidential race, so why should Platner?

It will be interesting to see how the independent and younger voters of Maine feel about all this.

What has Collins done to curb the Felon's excesses and addressed the affordability problem?

Those are the highest priority issues.

You’d think the NYTimes would spend as much time on Collins and her sexual relationship with a guy whose wife was dying of cancer. Who Collins later married. Everyone in Maine knows this will happen to Platner, and you don’t push Mainers around. Platner will win on Tuesday, then in November.
