A top adviser to New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani pushed hard for Maine Democrat Graham Platner in the 2026 Senate race with an eye on a Democratic presidential ticket by 2032, sources told The Post.
Morris Katz hyped up Platner as a Bernie Sanders successor who could captivate the progressive base of the Democratic Party — much better than Squad darling Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), who he saw as a losing nominee, two Democratic sources revealed.
One reason Katz favored Platner’s chances over AOC was that he’s a man, sources said.
Katz had worked for around 10 months with other left-wing operatives to pluck Platner, the untested Marine veteran-turned-oyster farmer, from obscurity and put him on a path to defeating incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins in Maine in November.
“‘The guy is so -–---- talented,'” Katz boasted around the time of Platner’s campaign launch in August 2025, the source noted, suggesting that the sky was the limit given the slick ads he expected to produce and fundraising he would be able to bring in as a result.
But the 27-year-old remained “stubborn in his support for Platner” — even as rape accusations from an ex-girlfriend forced state and national Democratic party leaders to withdraw support — because he viewed the political outsider as “his presidential ticket,” said the source familiar with campaign discussions.
“You make this guy senator, and then you make this guy president because, in large part, Morris and like this whole sector of the left do not believe that AOC can win because she’s a woman,” this person said, pointing to 2032 as likely the most favorable cycle for Platner to make a White House run.

Oh if this is true I’m feeling better about the chances of success for our side in the future. Thank goodness our enemies can be this stupid sometimes.
AOC is a woman?
No horse DNA?
Does KBJ agree?
Kind of like burning down your house in order to get rid of termites.
Driving your car into a tree because you don’t believe in using brakes.
Muslims like to slap women around. The Koran allows it.
Mamdani could have avoided all this drama by slapping AOC around until she promised not to run for president.
So, this is the Nth confirmation that Mandorki is also a worthless, rich guy POS just as Platner is. The only diff is that comes across as a higher quality piece of s**t. However, the rule that virtually all leftist DemocRATs are excrement is thus far unbroken. Since Muzzies everywhere can call out for death to America, can we not also call out “Death to the left”?
Mamdani has a powerful protection card. Criticize him, and you’re not just wrong. You’re also a hater, an Islamophobe. Horrors!
Criticize Platner, and you’re an anti-Nazi. That’s okay, perfectly fine.
Stupid Platner should have converted to Islam before running.
Too late now, Adolf admirer.
The very idea is surreal. An intellectually challenged socialist bartender...
They are all insane
Morris Katz...a JEW....helping a MUSLIM AND A NAZI !!!!!
Call me an ISLAMAPHOBE!! I am PETRIFIED that MUSLIMS ARE CONQUERING THIS COUNTRY! I wear that SMARTLY!
The Left is patient. They know that the next time that they win, it will be the last "free" election in this country and they'll never lose power again.
I totally agree. The Muslim threat is very real, and growing.
Some people realize that. But far too few.
In a way, we are in a situation like that of Europe in 1930. Some people back then recognized the danger in the rise of fascism. But far too few.
And we all know how that worked out.
They are
That is why I propose that we permanently shut down the Strait of Hormuz.
But there is NO WHERE WE CAN GO TO!!!
Right now the Democratic Party leader is Bernie Sanders. He’s got the power.
Just 14 centuries ago, these countries were free of Islam.
Now Islam is the majority religion in these countries.
Indonesia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nigeria, Egypt, Turkey,
Iran, Sudan, Algeria, Afghanistan, Morocco,
Iraq, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Uzbekistan, Yemen,
Syria, Kazakhstan, Niger, Burkina Faso, Mali, Senegal,
Tunisia, Guinea, Somalia, Azerbaijan, Tajikistan,
Sierra Leone, Libya, Jordan, United Arab Emirates,
Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Chad, Lebanon, Kuwait,
Albania, Mauritania, Oman, Kosovo, Gambia, Bahrain,
Comoros, Qatar, Djibouti, Brunei, Maldives, Gaza.
Large communities of Muslims are also found in China, the Balkans, India, and Russia. Other parts of the world host large Muslim immigrant communities; in Western Europe, for instance, Islam is the second largest religion after Christianity. Islam has 1.6 billion adherents, making up over 22% of the world population.
Ignore history at your own peril.
Morris Katz is seriously disturbed if he thinks Platner was a good pick for POTUS.
