## Resource

Maine’s Democratic Senate hopeful Graham Platner, a Marine veteran and oyster farmer, cruised to a 72% win in his primary — but his path to victory is now blocked by a tough GOP incumbent, Susan Collins, and his own controversial past. Meanwhile, Trump’s grip on the GOP tightens: Lindsey Graham wins easily in South Carolina, while Nancy Mace’s primary loss underscores the cost of defying Trump’s agenda — even when it’s about exposing Epstein’s secrets.
