Graham Platner to face Susan Collins in Maine | Katie Pavlich Tonight

Tonight on Katie Pavlich Tonight: It’s a high-stakes election night across America as multiple states head to the polls, headlined by Maine's controversial Senate primary, in which voters will decide if they can overlook severe abuse allegations, offensive messages and a Nazi death camp tattoo surrounding progressive candidate Graham Platner. Political commentators Jason Rantz and Chris Hahn join the program alongside Decision Desk HQ's Scott Tranter to dissect the live results and debate Pavlich’s warning that the mainstream left’s defense of Platner reveals a total erasure of the line between traditional Democrats and the radical progressive movement. We also dive into a massive immigration fraud crackdown as Assistant Attorney General Brett Shumate joins us to discuss the Trump administration's unprecedented efforts to denaturalize citizens accused of fraud, alongside a full DOJ criminal investigation into Minnesota's Walz administration and the intense grilling of the Southern Poverty Law Center on Capitol Hill. Former DNC Chair Jaime Harrison then squares off with Pavlich over how the Democratic Party can justify backing scandal-ridden candidates and whether their active crusade against ICE will backfire ahead of the midterms, especially following recent activist mayhem in Newark. Finally, one full week after California's primary, the state is remarkably still counting ballots; John Ziegler and Kaivan Shroff join the panel to react to DDHQ projecting Republican Steve Hilton's advancement in the governor's race, Gavin Newsom's leaked "break the glass" contingency plan, and Pavlich’s demand that America permanently returns to a secure Election Day utilizing mandatory voter ID.This episode was originally aired on June 9th, 2026#platner #maine #election"Katie Pavlich Tonight" offers a conservative take on the day`s events while welcoming all viewpoints.
