'BradCast' 7/6/2026 (Maine Us Senate Race Rocked by Sexual Assault Claim Against Platner)

What this episode covers

On today's 'BradCast': Breaking just before airtime, Politico reports that a former girlfriend of Maine's Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner has accused him of having sexually assaulted her in her home in late 2021. Graham denies the allegations but says he is 'taking the time to reflect on the best path forward' for his candidacy and Maine voters. Platner has until July 13 to drop out of the race, and several prominent Democrats have called on him to withdraw. Will they have a better chance of unseating incumbent Republican U.S. Senator Susan Collins with Platner out of the race? Callers weigh in.
