A brief but time-sensitive story: Maine's Democratic Party has confirmed it is replacing Senate nominee Graham Plattner and will hold a nominating convention to do so. The logistics are tight — the party has under three weeks to submit a new name to the Maine secretary of state. The story gives no explanation for Plattner's replacement, leaving the cause unexplained, but the urgency of the party's statement signals this is a forced move rather than a strategic one. For a Democratic-leaning state, the uncertainty of who will carry the banner in a Senate race is a notable vulnerability.
The US-Iran war's gas price swings are showing up in PepsiCo's quarterly results.
