from Vibes Only · host Brian Derrick & Glennis Meagher | Political Strategists
Graham Platner's Senate campaign just imploded, and it might be the best news Maine Democrats got all year. Here's who replaces him.Graham Platner is out, and the Maine Democratic Party has until July 27th to name a replacement. Brian Derrick and Glennis Meagher get into who actually deserves blame for the whole mess in Maine and SPOILER it’s the consultants who recruited him, the party that let it get this far, and - of course - Platner himself. Then it's Weekend at Bernie's in the Senate as Mitch McConnell goes three weeks without a public sighting, and we walk through what happens in Kentucky if Governor Andy Beshear gets to make a move (Thomas Massie, anyone?).Donald Trump is still holding a genuinely good housing bill hostage over the SAVE Act, so we explain why that should shake anyone's trust in Donald Trump, the world’s worst businessman, on the economy. Plus we get into (not literally) the former Pfizer HQ on 42nd Street that's now leaning like a melted ice cream cone and forced nine buildings to evacuate, and yes, Brian needs a new apartment (Upper West Side leads welcome - DM us on instagram @vibesonlythepodcast).Also this week: a rapid fire round of Clickbait or Double Click on Iran, election funding, and Florida's Stop Woke law, this week's Oath Candidate of the Week is a real looker named Manny Rutinel in Colorado's 8th, and a Good Vibe Goodbye courtesy of the federal courts.Just the vibes.
