In a special episode of America, Actually, Vox’s Astead Herndon speaks to progressive commentator Emma Vigeland, co-host of The Majority Report and former Platner supporter, about the sexual assault allegations that have upended his run for Senate against Republican Susan Collins. They discuss what the controversy reveals about candidate vetting and who should have a say in deciding who takes his place.
