Democrat Graham Platner has raised more than 16 million dollars in the Maine Senate race despite a growing pile of controversy, and if he wins his June 9 primary he takes on Susan Collins in November in a contest that could decide control of the chamber. On The Jenny Beth Show, the panel explains why this race matters far beyond New England. Stacy Washington argues Democrats are running a "looks-first" playbook aimed at the young men they lost in 2024 and warns about what it means if the strategy works. Nick Searcy calls the whole thing breathtaking, and Jenny Beth connects it to the identity-politics mindset driving both coasts.
Host Jenny Beth Martin is the co-founder of the Tea Party movement and Chairman of Tea Party Patriots Action. She is joined by Stacy Washington, host of Stacy on the Right on Patriot News Channel 125 on SiriusXM, and Nick Searcy, actor, producer, director, and author.
What you will learn: why the Maine primary on June 9 is a national story, and what the panel says it reveals about the modern Democratic Party.
