WTW134: Graham Platner's Me Too Moment?
A second wave of coverage has hit Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner, and this time it's a New York Times deep-dive into his past relationships. Thomas breaks down both the texting article and the "several women" piece: who the sources actually are, what the reporting can and can't corroborate, why one accuser's background raises serious questions, and whether either story should have run at all. Plus, a broader conversation about what voters are supposed to do when the candidate they've got is... complicated.
