Summary

Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" gives a first look to the stories you need to know to start your day including growing scrutiny of Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner after financial disclosures appeared to contradict his carefully crafted image as a working-class oyster farmer, revealing that veteran disability benefits account for far more of his income than oyster farming and harbor work; new questions surrounding Platner's campaign as critics point to family financial support, his business arrangements, and a string of recent controversies; and a major Supreme Court case, Watson v. Republican National Committee, that could dramatically reshape election laws nationwide by determining whether ballots arriving after Election Day can still be counted, potentially impacting states like California where races such as Spencer Pratt vs. Nithya Raman and Karen bass remain unresolved days after voting ended, and much more.
