Summary
Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner is reportedly on the verge of dropping out of his race just days before the July 13 ballot deadline, as a bombshell new breaking & entering and deeply disturbing allegations from a woman who once dated him sends his campaign into freefall — canceled events, panicked allies, and Democrats scrambling to save a seat they thought was a lock. Meanwhile, President Trump notched a win as FIFA reversed course on Folarin Balogun's red card suspension, clearing him to play tonight against Belgium — and somehow Democrats found a way to be mad about that too.
