There certainly hadn't been time for us to really look into what was going on here.

And it's not this is a main Senate primary.

This is not like the very top of our list of crucial issues.

things to hit the second it happens we can wait on something like this to see how stuff's shaking out a little bit no one's voting yet so it's not like we're influencing the election by not coming out or whatever yeah like we only get to cover so much we have one hour of like news roundup show a week and the blue sky twitter drama about Graham Plattner is not as important as the fact that millions of people are losing

their food this week.

No.

One thing that is interesting, and I do think this is an important race just because of kind of what it says about what sort of strategies are working now and igniting the base and what kind of stuff does matter in terms of scandals.

I think there are some things that are really relevant here.

One thing that is interesting to me is that according to a poll, a very recent poll, the article came in on October 26th, 2025, a majority of young Democrats still back Graham Platner even after the whole tattoo thing.

And this is really interesting to me because the data shows that in general among likely voters, his potential support plummets when people are made aware that he had the tattoo.

But young Democrats are by far the group most likely to have become aware of it as soon as the story broke because young people are much more online.

than older people.

Sure, yeah.

And among young people, he's still well ahead, which I really just do think speaks more than anything to the strength of- It's the rhetoric.

He has been using- The platform that he came out the gate with.

And the rhetoric, right?

His combative rhetoric is really attractive to young voters, especially.

Explain your generation to us, Garrison.

Why are you like this?

I mean, there's a lot of stuff that the Zoran campaign kind of ignited around.
