Here's the latest on Graham Platner, the
0:01
main Democrat running to replace Susan
0:03
Collins in the Senate after New York
0:04
Times story detailed an account of
0:06
physical intimidation by an
0:07
ex-girlfriend, which Platner has denied.
0:09
One Democrat in Congress has said she's
0:11
already seen enough. Maline Dean, a
0:14
congresswoman from Pennsylvania, told
0:16
CNN today that she thinks Platner has
0:18
disqualified himself from the race
0:20
because of this story and because of
0:22
previous things over the last several
0:23
months. There's just one problem,
0:25
though. The main Senate primary is just
0:27
4 days away and Platner's opponent has
0:29
stopped campaigning months ago. And in
0:31
my opinion, that's been the most
0:32
overlooked aspect of the race. Janet
0:35
Mills, the governor and the handpicked
0:36
candidate of Chuck Schumer and the
0:38
Democratic establishment, just flopped
0:40
in polls, in fundraising, and I think
0:43
wasn't a match for a post Joe Biden
0:46
Democratic party, particularly
0:47
considering she was 78 years old.
0:49
Because of that, Platner has been able
0:50
to kind of glide to this nomination and
0:53
main Democrats are kind of stuck with
0:55
him. It's really changed the dynamics of
0:57
this race. It was probably originally
0:59
going to be focused on Susan Collins and
1:01
her relationship to Donald Trump,
1:02
considering Trump's unpopularity. Now it
1:05
feels like a referendum on Grand
1:06
Platner.
