## Resource

On today's 'BradCast': Voters in Maine head to the polls for 2026 midterm primary elections on Tuesday, deciding whether progressive oyster farmer Graham Platner, despite some late-breaking controversies, will face incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins in the general election in November. Ballot counting continues across California, with state Attorney General Xavier Becerra (D) clinching a general election spot in the gubernatorial race; his challenger remains as yet undecided. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and City Council member Nithya Raman overtook Trumpy Republican former reality TV star Spencer Pratt to advance to the general election. Donald Trump threw an angry fit and stormed out of an interview after the journalist challenged him to provide evidence to support his baseless claims of fraud in California's election. Callers weigh in.
