Maine Democrats announced it will hold its convention July 25 to pick a new nominee for US Senate to run in Graham Platner’s place in November — but some party members aren’t waiting until a new name emerges from the ashes of the accused rapist’s campaign.
Prominent lefties in Congress are already raising money — claiming the fate of the entire party is at stake.
“Our path to flipping the Senate runs directly through Maine. If we flip Maine, we flip the Senate,” Sen. Kristen Gillibrand (D-NY) wrote in a desperate fundraising email Friday.
“But if Susan Collins wins, Trump gets two more years of unchecked power,” she pleaded, asking her base in New York to send $100,000 for an “emergency fund” for Maine by midnight.
“If we don’t flip this seat, our hopes of flipping the Senate are crushed,” added Gillibrand, who chairs the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.
The early fundraising pitch is also a way for Maine Democrats get a campaign war chest going before they have a new candidate who might not be all that appealing.
And most of those who have thrown their hats in the ring to replace Platner — who is dropping out after a woman publicly alleged this week he drunkenly raped her in 2021 — are all literal losers.
The leading contenders are all Democrats who lost in the party’s primary for Maine Governor just last month.
Former director of the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Nariv Shah, came in second in that race, while Maine fifth-generation logger, Bernie Sanders-backed Troy Jackson, was third and Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows got fourth place.
In addition to losing in the governor primary, Bellows, 51, also lost badly to Susan Collins — the Republican nominee she’ll face off against if...

she shouldn’t worry about Collins!
Have they actually seen Collins' record?
Unchecked? You ever of John Thune? Or is it Thuneberg? I get him and Greta mixed up.
The bastids should claim this loser as a DSA candidate and pin their hopes on him. Their's plenty of muslims in Maine; he might be their only hope.
He's a lumberjack and he's OK, he sleeps all night and he works all day...
Someone shook up the democRAT ant farm.
“Maine event: Dems descend into chaos over Platner exit — claiming fate of entire party is at stake”. Oh no, no lobsters and clams at the event?
I can see a new center-left party emerge.
The Democratic Party now belongs to Communists so the moderate Democrats will leave to establish a new party.
But we'll have to win big in 2028 first.
These people are delusional. There was and is zero chance of them flipping the Senate. The House is 50/50.
Kamala got 48% in 107 days.
I’m not buying it.
Just like Swalwell and Joe Biden they are replacing an old candidate with a shiny, exciting new one.
The new candidate will be thrilling, charismatic and ready to skillfully lie to any group about any topic.
And “let’s move on” and “why discuss Platner when he’s not a candidate. I want to talk about today and the tomorrow the people of Maine deserve in the fight against Trump” (5 minutes of cheering).
Here’s a cheap stunt an incoming university president used where I used to work. He bought a junkyard side view mirror and held it up on stage.
“This mirror shows where this university has been with all its well known problems and faults. This is what I think about dwelling on what you see in the side view mirror.”
He dramatically threw it hard into a trash container onstage.
He cuts down trees. He skips and jumps.
He likes to press wild flowers.
He puts on Nazi clothing.
And hangs around in bars.
Probably a lot of crabs.
Descend into chaos? Maine demonicRATS need to reach up to get under the sludge at the bottom of the barrel.
LOL these morons really dont get it do they, Susan Collins is NO Trump fan, otherwise she would be screaming from the rooftops to pass the SAVE ACT..her only “bad act” according to the commies is voting for Kavanaugh thats all they hate her for
A tree-cuttin' commie? This is going from nazi to worse.
Governor Janet Mills came in second behind Platner in the June 9 primary. Her name is nowhere to be found on the list of candidates.
Oh, and the statement that the convention is going to be open and all voice heard. I don’t believe that for a second. Oh the party will go through the motions of delegate selection but the 100 members of the center committee will decide who the nominee will be. My guess is that the committee members have already decided.
