The gloves come off as Tricia Byrnes, Missouri House member and Senate District 10 candidate, exposes a vicious opponent-backed attack ad twisting her genuine effort to fix a broken 988 crisis line into a fabricated criminal accusation. Byrnes details how her own investigation found the 988 system leaving suicidal callers waiting over an hour for a human response, a discovery that led President Trump to defund the transgender chatbot portion of the program nationally. She reveals her opponent's campaign strategists knew the real story, had it in writing, and pushed the false narrative anyway, even mistakenly mailing the attack piece to the wrong district. Byrnes stands firm on her record, from holding the federal government accountable on Coldwater Creek to banning cell phones in classrooms, while pivoting to her next fight: getting books and cursive writing back in Missouri schools. A raw, revealing conversation about the dirty tricks of primary season on The Marc Cox Morning Show.

Another day, another accusation by a former girlfriend… and yet Maine Democratic candidate Graham Platner has yet to drop out of his bid for the U.S. Senate and a chance to unseat longtime republican incumbent Susan Collins. 41-year-old Lyndsey Fifield told several news outlets that while they were dating, Platner repeatedly removed condoms without her consent while having sex. The act is known as “stealthing” and is considered a crime in multiple countries and states here in the U.S. and is classified as a form of sexual assault. Platner’s camp is vehemently denying the latest accusations, in addition to a former girlfriend’s claims that he raped her while they were dating, saying they are all politically motivated.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Texas Attorney General and Republican candidate for Senate, Ken Paxton's marriage fell apart two years ago when his wife accused him of having an affair and she moved out of the house they shared. According to new reporting from the Texas Tribune and ProPublica, the address of that house is still on Paxton's voting registration even though he hasn't lived there for years and does not appear to be going back. Zach Despart, Texas Tribune investigative reporter, talks with Jen Psaki about why Paxton may have committed voter fraud, and why that would be an especially rich irony. Graham Platner's time as Maine Democrats' candidate for Senate appears to be about to end, with another brutal round of reports of sexual impropriety. But Platner has been underperforming as a candidate anyway, so replacing him may be to Democrats' advantage if they can pick a good candidate. But how do they choose a new candidate in the short time they have, and straddle the requirements of mainstream Democratic politics while incorporating the renegade, grassroots spirit that has become a hallmark for a party in transition. Jim Messina, campaign manager for former President Barack Obama, and Amy Walter, publisher and editor-in-chief of the Cook Political Report with Amy Walter, talk with Jen Psaki about how the Democratic Party should navigate a potential Platner exit. Rep. Debbie Dingell joins to discuss the contentious Democratic primary in Michigan.   To listen to this show and other MS podcasts without ads, sign up for MS NOW Premium on Apple Podcasts.

As control of the Senate hangs in the balance, many eyes are on Dan Osborn, of Nebraska. He's a dream candidate for the Democrats: a mechanic in the food-processing industry, a former president of his local union, and a veteran of the Navy and the Army National Guard.

David Remnick talks with Osborn about leading a strike at a Kellogg's plant; how Donald Trump's tariffs are affecting voters in an agricultural state; and Osborn's decision to not caucus with either party if he wins the seat.Further reading: “Can the Democrats Take Back the Senate?,” by Amy Davidson SorkinThe Political Scene draws on the reporting and analysis found in The New Yorker for lively conversations about the big questions in American politics.
