No worries.

Pleasure, John.

That was Dan Reed, director of Leaving Neverland, and this has been a weekend episode of Morning Wire.

A major shakeup in Maine's Senate race, Governor Janet Mills drops out, reshaping a high-stakes battle that could determine control of the Senate.

I'm Daily Wire Executive Editor John Bickley with Georgia Howell.

It's Friday, May 1st.

This is Morning Wire.

And a major Supreme Court decision is already reshaping the political map.

Joining us now to discuss the state of the Senate race now in Maine is Steve Robinson, editor-in-chief of MaineWire.

First of all, thank you so much for coming on.

Oh, thank you very much for having me.

So we just had this big development in your state.

Governor Mills has withdrawn.

She would have appeared to be the big player for the Democrats to try to give Republican Susan Collins a real run.

Now she's out.

She says she's actually out of campaign money.

What happened with Janet Mills?

So you mentioned some of the controversy surrounding Plattner.

For our audience, we haven't talked much about him, frankly, in the past.

What are some of the key controversies and why are voters attracted to him at all?
