During his acceptance speech last night, Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner told a packed room of supporters that “people can change.” Acknowledging past mistakes, he said he continues to learn from them and understands that earning the trust and support of his constituents is his responsibility. With the primary now behind him, Platner turns his attention to building support within his own party as he prepares to challenge Republican incumbent Sen. Susan Collins. Dan reacted to Platner’s victory, campaign, and personal record.

At Ipswich High School, smoking a cigar after graduation has long been a traditional rite of passage. Because the use of tobacco products violates the rules of the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association, members of the school’s boys lacrosse team celebrated with homemade imitation cigars instead. Despite the cigars being fake, several players were suspended, leaving the team without enough eligible participants and forcing a forfeit in the Division 4 state semifinal. John Gianakakis, father of one of the Ipswich players, joined Dan to discuss.
