. @dscc : “Graham Platner needs to immediately withdraw as the Democratic nominee for Senate and allow Maine Democrats the opportunity to choose a new candidate who can defeat Susan Collins. The DSCC will not invest in the Maine Senate race if Platner remains on the ballot.”

Listening to a recent recording of @RahmEmanuel and I gotta say he does a pretty good Bill Clinton impersonation.

.@idaveprice I've been curious about that myself. It could be a person or persons. Trump has said he was given "bad information" by someone.

[Dave Price @idaveprice]

One question not answered publicly: which person convinced the President to make his late endorsement for Feenstra in the final days before the primary’s election?
