On today's 'BradCast': Maine's Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner has withdrawn from the race, with state party officials now scrambling to create a process to select a new nominee. Questions are swirling around the health status of hospitalized Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), and Senate Republicans' secrecy isn't helping. Donald Trump's War on Iran is back on again, and Trump claims the 'ceasefire' and the 'Memorandum of Understanding' between the US and Iran are 'over.' Roosevelt University's Prof. DAVID FARIS explains the latest developments, the major concessions that the U.S. made with Iran, potential pathways forward to resolve the conflict, and much more.
