Democrat Graham Platner has suspended his campaign for U.S. Senate in Maine after days of intense political pressure to drop out of the race ahead of Monday’s ballot deadline.

The Morning Joe panel discusses Platner trying to leverage his replacement pick, and the hypocrisy of Republicans critical of the Platner controversy.
