*4:15 PM ET TODAY*: Live Debate on the Future of Democratic Party
Should progressive Senate candidate Graham Platner step down? The Young Turks' Cenk Uygur and former Hillary Clinton campaign staffer Kaivan Shroff debate that and more, and take audience questions!
A lively debate and Q&A is coming your way this afternoon, so don’t miss it…
In a competition for the Democratic primary seat for Maine’s Senate election, progressive candidate Graham Platner has had a huge lead over centrist Maine Governor Janet Mills, as the two race to unseat Republican Senator Susan Collins.
But now, Platner is embroiled in scandals and controversy. A video revealed that he has a decades-old tattoo with Nazi imagery. A series of Reddit posts emerged where he downplayed sexual assault. And then on Wednesday, several antigay Reddit posts by him were revealed. He has now apologized for all of the above, and has not denied being responsible.
So, should Platner drop out of the race? Who has the best shot of beating Collins?
Join us TODAY AT 4:15pm ET / 1:15pm PT for a debate on Platner, the Maine race, and the future of the Democratic Party with two leading voices on the Left: host of ‘The Young Turks’ and former California congressional candidate, Cenk Uygur, and Kaivan Shroff, progressive commentator and former Hillary for America presidential campaign staffer. Mehdi will be moderating and taking audience questions.
