56:16Now PlayingIn 2026, everyone who follows politics has an opinion about Maine politics. Here’s the thing: A lot of people in Maine think they’re wrong. So we talked to a real local reporter in Maine. Former NBC News reporter Alex Seitz-Wald, now deputy editor of the Midcoast Villager, joins to discuss his transition to local journalism, the unique culture of Maine politics, and how Graham Platner’s exit from the U.S. Senate race landed with Maine voters. They also size up the new Democratic candidate, Troy Jackson, and discuss why Susan Collins has had such staying power and how–or whether–her luck might finally run out in 2026.
Alex Seitz-Wald joins guest host Sarah Longwell for the weekend pod.
