Ep. 594 - BREAKING: Graham Platner is DONE, Democrats Panic Over New Scandal & Trump Wins on FIFA's Red Card

Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner is reportedly on the verge of dropping out of his race just days before the July 13 ballot deadline, as a bombshell new breaking & entering and deeply disturbing allegations from a woman who once dated him sends his campaign into freefall — canceled events, panicked allies, and Democrats scrambling to save a seat they thought was a lock. Meanwhile, President Trump notched a win as FIFA reversed course on Folarin Balogun's red card suspension, clearing him to play tonight against Belgium — and somehow Democrats found a way to be mad about that too.
