Again, made in NATO.

It's Tuesday, July 7th.

I'm Daniel Bach for The Wall Street Journal, filling in for Luke Vargas.

And here is the AM edition of What's News, the top headlines and business stories moving your world today.

Maine's Graham Plattner is widely expected to pull his candidacy for Senate today, with top Democrats withdrawing their endorsements overnight.

That's after a woman Plattner had been romantically involved with publicly alleged that he sexually assaulted her.

He denied the allegation in a video yesterday, saying he would reassess his Senate bid.

But now, state and national lawmakers are calling for Plattner to drop out of the race.

Here's Maine's House Speaker Ryan Fecteau, courtesy of Maine's Total Coverage.

The development is set to damage Democrats' hopes in one of the party's most important Senate races this year.

Almost any path for Democrats to gain the four seats needed for a Senate majority includes winning in Maine.

July 13th is the cutoff for any changes to November's ballot.

If Plattner withdraws by then, the Democratic Party will have until July 27th to find a new nominee.

All eyes are on the Nasdaq 100 today with SpaceX set to join.

That follows a decision by the index to fast-track newly public mega-cap companies under new inclusion rules.

Elon Musk's rocket company has been on a wild ride since his IPO last month, racking up a $2.1 trillion market cap with more potential big moves ahead.

Journal Markets reporter Caitlin McCabe says that's key for index tracking funds, which have been gearing up for a SpaceX buying spree.

And Caitlin says because SpaceX sold less than 5% of its total shares in last month's public offering, people invested in market tracking funds will be less exposed to the company than they might think.

And you can find an explainer on what SpaceX means for the Nasdaq 100 in our show notes.
