In the Fun Half:

Abdul El-Sayed clashes with Will Cain on Fox News over his support for abolishing ICE and the war on Iran’s impact on the economy.

Melissa Derosa, former chief of staff for Andrew Cuomo, says that there a lot of ‘moderate’ Democrats that won’t shed any tears if Graham Platner loses to Susan Collins – the Republican.
