Governor Mills has withdrawn.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?

Does he have charisma?

What is it about him?

Well, now you mentioned his Nazi tattoo that he's now partly covered up.

Are you surprised that Maine voters aren't more turned off by that?

Regardless, though, you do think he does have a shot, as you said.

Well, it's going to be fascinating to watch all of this unfold.

Steve, thank you so much for joining us.

Thank you.

Joining us now is Cabot Phillips, host of Wired and Live.

Hello, Cabot.

So we just had the longest shutdown in DHS history end.

In fact, the longest shutdown of any agency over two months.
