Weekend at Bernie's in the Senate? Graham & McConnell Prove We Need Term Limits

Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov open the week reflecting on the sudden death of Sen. Lindsey Graham, who died Saturday night following what his office described as a brief and sudden illness. They talk about what he will be most remembered for — and how some of his most consequential hypocrisies could be seen to undermine the legacy of a life devoted to public service.

And, what does Graham’s death mean for a Republican Party already navigating serious uncertainty around Mitch McConnell? Scott and Jessica discuss McConnell’s mysterious health situation — which led his office to release a “proof of life” photograph on Sunday of the Senator and his wife in a hospital.

Democrats meanwhile have their own Senate crisis. Graham Platner has now formally submitted his paperwork to withdraw from the Maine race following sexual assault allegations. The Maine Democratic Party will hold a convention on July 25th to select his replacement. Will Platner’s base get behind the process? And, will whoever the Democrats nominate to replace him have a chance against many-term Republican incumbent Susan Collins?
