Susan Collins, this fall.</p><p>This episode reviews Platner&#39;s political career and the cascading personal scandals that have threatened to destroy it, from the problematic Reddit posts to the tattoo that looked <em>awfully similar </em>to a Nazi symbol to the allegations of mistreatment toward women. But despite everything that&#39;s been said about Platner — and much certainly has been said — <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/polls/maine-us-senate-election-polls-2026.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">recent polls</a>still favor him to win.</p><p>To debate what Platner&#39;s campaign means for this year&#39;s midterm elections, the guys slicked back their hair and sat down over some &quot;sloppy steaks&quot; at Truffoni&#39;s. (<a href="https://youtu.be/buK45NW_ikI" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"><em>&quot;It&#39;s a steak with water dumped on it.
