TL;DR

Janet Mills suspended her U.S. Senate bid weeks before the Democratic primary due to a lack of funds, clearing the way for progressive outsider Graham Platner to likely clinch the nomination to challenge Republican Sen. Susan Collins; Platner has endorsements but also past controversial online remarks, and Mills has not yet indicated an endorsement. In a hypothetical general election, Platner leads Collins 48-41.
