Maine Democrats are coalescing behind a progressive logger, their new candidate to replace disgraced Graham Platner in the U.S. Senate race.
But let's go back, before Platner's spectacular fall, before the rape allegation became public, back to the first sign of trouble. Why did the Democratic faithful stick with the scandal ridden populist oyster farmer for so long? Does it say something about our greater political allegiances? Or our increasing drift from centrist politics?
On Cincinnati Edition we ask what Graham Platner says about our politics today.
Guests:
- Shane Noem, chair, Kenton County Republican Party
- David Niven, PhD, professor of Political Science, University of Cincinnati
