Democrats badly want to win control of the Senate this fall, but
they just suffered a bad blow: Graham Platner, their candidate in
Maine, dropped out of the race after facing rape allegations.
Whose job was it to vet Platner? And what do Democrats do with
this race now?

Then, from cryptocurrency profits to calling the head of FIFA,
what is President Trump’s relationship with corruption? He seems
to embrace the image of being able to do whatever he wants,
whenever he wants. Is there a disciplined message Democrats can
craft to combat the power of his persona?

And David gives a tribute to Don Gonyea, who is stepping away
from NPR after a legendary political reporting career.
