We Spent 4 Days With The Most Controversial Candidate In America - More Perfect Union

We spent 4 days traveling the entire state of Maine with Graham Platner to find out if he can win.

Along the way we sat him down with Republicans and Independents.

One voter told us: "We're so tired of the establishment, and Maine is a very anti-establishment state."

I get it. I'm also not exactly the same person I was 30 years ago.

Perhaps instead of dissing him, as I have, Dems might want to check out what he's tapping into. It's powerful and not relegated to just Maine. We may have a unique opportunity here if Dems play their cards well. All this gerrymandering might be for naught. Even some Republicans aren't on board since it dilutes red votes as well as blue, making some safe red districts not so safe anymore. In an environment like this, it can backfire.
