Maine Dems Split Over Who Carries Platner’s Progressive Torch
TL;DR Summary
Maine Democrats are divided on who should replace Graham Platner, following his resignation amid a sexual assault allegation, with Jackson backed by labor unions and Our Revolution and Bellows drawing Platner supporters. Nirav Shah is courting Platner organizers, while some state legislators back Bellows. About 600 delegates will decide the nominee at a Bangor convention in mid-July, a crucial step in the race to unseat Susan Collins. The field is fragmented as candidates try to claim Platner’s progressive legacy without being tethered to him personally.
