Summary

Embattled democrat Graham Platner withdrawing from Maine's closely watched senate race amid mounting pressure and accusations of sexual misconduct. Also, the U.S. carrying out a second day of airstrikes and Tehran responding with its own attacks as the war escalates. Plus, the renewed tension in the Middle East taking a toll on oil and gas prices as well as Wall Street. And, President Trump leaving the high-stakes NATO Summit on the old "Air Force One" out of caution as the U.S. and Iran traded new attacks overnight.
