Graham Platner has pulled out of Maine's Senate race, and Hawk starts with former Fox News anchor Gretchen Carlson responding to Platner's roughly eleven-minute exit video, including his claim that regular people do not abuse women. Carlson, herself a survivor of workplace sexual harassment, offers a pointed reply, and Hawk says he believes both of Platner's accusers.
From there, Scott Jennings gets fact-checked on live television by Neera Tanden over his claim about gas prices under Donald Trump and Joe Biden. Former MAGA insider Ashley St. Clair, on the Daily Beast podcast, shares her view that Charlie Kirk's Turning Point USA is fading, with questions about how many of its chapters were ever real.
Hawk then looks at Trump's nomination of Lance Schroyer, an Oklahoma former state trooper with no federal immigration experience, to lead ICE, and the concerns attorney Shant Karnikian raised about the pick and Stephen Miller's influence. The night ends on hope: Steve Schmidt of The Warning highlighting Dr. Annie Andrews, a pediatrician polling within three points of Lindsey Graham in South Carolina.
