Graham Platner Isn't Playing Mr. Nice Guy In Maine

Here's his shot across Susan Collins' bow and it doesn't mince words.
By Tengrain — May 9, 2026

Now that 78-year old Gov. Janet Mills has dropped out of the US Senate race in Maine, the Democrats defacto-nominee Graham Platner, 41, is launching his general-election campaign against Sen. Susan Collins, 73.

That is a lion’s roar of a thesis statement, and is frankly pretty impressive.

I bet Susan Collins is concerned, very concerned.
