The Tara Palmeri Show

As new allegations against Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner send shockwaves through the race, party leaders—including Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and Chuck Schumer—pull their endorsements and call for him to step aside. Tara Palmeri breaks down the latest developments, Platner's response, the political fallout, and why she believes the allegations point to larger questions about how the media investigates abuse claims and how political parties vet their candidates. Plus, Tara answers viewer questions live and discusses what could happen next in one of the country's most closely watched Senate races.
