10:17Now PlayingHow did an unknown Maine oyster farmer become one of the Democratic Party's biggest rising stars... only to see his Senate campaign unravel almost overnight?
Billy Bush takes a closer look at the Graham Platner story—from the political strategists who discovered him, to Bernie Sanders' endorsement, the millions raised, and the allegations that brought everything to a halt.
Billy also examines the role of campaign strategist Daniel Moraff, the controversy surrounding his past, and asks whether the people behind the campaign missed warning signs—or ignored them.
Most importantly, Billy explains why he's trying to speak directly with Graham Platner himself.

Topics include:
• Graham Platner's Senate campaign
• Bernie Sanders' endorsement
• Daniel Moraf's role in the campaign
