All eyes are on a key U.S. Senate race in Maine, where democratic senate hopeful Graham Platner, who has weathered a series of scandals, is likely to win a chance to unseat longtime Maine Senator Susan Collins in the general election. NBC’s Ryan Nobles reports for TODAY.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) has spent more than two decades winning Republican primaries in South Carolina without ever being forced into a runoff, but a sizable bloc of undecided voters could test that streak Tuesday in the state’s primary elections.

A Trump megadonor got demolished on live television Monday night after demanding the country trust his voter fraud claims — then refusing to cite a single source to back them up.Hal Lambert, a Republican megadonor and regular on CNN's "NewsNight," clashed with CNN commentator Charles Blow and anchor Abby Phillip over President Donald Trump's long-debunked claims that the 2020 election was stolen.Lambert insisted there were "problems" in Georgia and Arizona. As he fumbled for specifics, Blow had heard enough."Oh my god!" Blow exclaimed."What were they, Hal? It's been six years," Phillip pressed.Lambert never answered. He pivoted to fraud in Medicare, Medicaid, and H-1B visas instead. Blow wasn't buying it."The more that you lie, the more we're going to push back on the fact that you are lying," Blow fired back. "You don't have a single source in your whole body."Blow then wielded the conservative Heritage Foundation's own Election Fraud Database against Lambert. A Brookings Institution analysis of Heritage's data found that in Pennsylvania, the group had to reach back 30 years — spanning 32 elections and more than 100 million ballots — to scrape together just 39 fraud cases. None changed the outcome."In 30 years, they've tracked 32 elections, 100 million votes. They have found 39 total cases of voter fraud," Blow said. "So you think the Heritage Foundation is absurd?"Lambert's response: "That's absurd! That's absurd! That's absurd!"The Brennan Center for Justice has found the Heritage cases represent a "molecular fraction" of total votes cast nationwide. Just 10 cases of in-person voter impersonation appear across the entire database.Phillip finally called it."To be honest, Hal, you're not saying anything of substance," she said.Lambert's exit line: "We'll see what the viewers think."

As we mentioned last week, Graham Platner was not inspired to run for political office, he was recruited by a pair of activists from the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). The post Meet the Democratic Socialist Activists Who Recruited Graham Platner to Run for Senate in Maine (VIDEO) appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.
Any indication of tepid support for Graham Platner, a Democratic candidate for Senate in Maine, will be seen as a warning sign about his chances against Senator Susan Collins, the Republican incumbent.
Graham Platner and Lindsey Graham are both hoping for comfortably big victories.
The tone, ominous for the Knicks, was set immediately. The Spurs forced the ball inside to Victor Wembanyama. Dunk and dunk. Spurs forward Victor Wembanyama (1) slams the ball over Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns (32) during the first quarter.
