Could the biggest New Hampshire political story of the week be a headline from next door in Maine?

The rise of far-left, Nazi-tattooed Graham Platner as the Democrats' nominee for U.S. Senate is a national story, and it's raising uncomfortable questions for Granite State Democrats like Rep. Chris Pappas. 

Jon Fetherston and Tom Shattuck (yes, WTKK listeners, THAT Tom Shattuck) of the Maine Wire have been covering Platner from the beginning, and they share insights about the self-declared gentleman oyster farmer you won't find in other media outlets.

Then political reporter Caroline McCaughey and longtime NHGOP operative Chuck McGee join host Michael Graham to talk about the current state of the 2026 races, and the issues Granite Staters really care about.
