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...

That’s a knee slapper right there.
“Entire ‘democrat’ party at stake”. That seems to be the order of the day. What ever they don’t like they tear it down so they can rebuild it in the way they want it to be. They want a full throated communist party but they’ll keep the Democrat logo.
Collins must be afraid of something. I keep seeing on Facebook she is now supporting the Save Act.
Uh, oh.
DSA-endorsed Democrat who could replace Graham Platner has allegations of his own
> 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.<
She dropped out. A conspiracy theorist would say she was told to drop out because there was so much dirt on Platner and she would be appointed later. It became a guaranteed nomination if she dropped out.
The conspirist would also say she was told she only had to win in November and would be replaced by another party favorite when she chose to resign from the Senate.
Democracy must be saved!
EC
The dems will continue to cheat their way to relevance, regardless of how loathsome they are and what they represent. It’s what the do.
I agree with you, the convention is going to be a mess. If she is heading off for vacation now, your implication is that she has no intention of seeking the nomination. Am I right?
Dimocrats do not need no convention. Just throw in the next contestant on the steal an election show. Caramel was not burdened by what johad been. Coulda won with a non superman contester too. God bless America!
It seems somewhat ridiculous that the Democrats are so obsessed with getting her out of office when she votes With the Democrats 90% of the time. She’s not a Republican except on paper.
How do you see this happening? Democrats have systematically driven away the more reasonable, sane party members for many years now, leaving only an increasingly radical fringe revolutionary remainder.

Susan Collins has always supported the house version of the SAVE Act.
lol…that’s really good!
With sawed-off shotguns.
At five paces.
