This likely means the Republicans will hold the Senate in November.

Now, onward to the house.

Of course he is....his sole purpose was to occupy some time and take some arrows. Mills will be substituted, with less time to vet her record of misgivings.

“This likely means the Republicans will hold the Senate in November.”

Latest polling:

Platner’s likely replacement (Governor Butch Mills) is faring better against Collins than Platner.

Replacing a 100% lunatic liberal with a 90% lunatic liberal is helpful for Democrats, not hurtful.

Well, I’ll be darned!
And here, I thought he was ‘untouchable’, impervious to any scandal, be it real or fantasized.

That’s a shame. Graham Platner was giving the world the opportunity to see exactly who the Democrats are.

As soon as Platner lost his lead, all of a sudden other democrats grew a conscience and had second thoughts about all the allegations and it would not be appropriate for him to run.

If he had kept his lead, democrats would have continued to excuse everything about him.

They are always lucky in changing candidates as another week and he would have had to stay on the ballot.

It’s going even lower when Mills gets back in.

He was her election beard.

She never would have been nominated however now she will be crowned nominee and easily beat Collins.

I wonder how much he was paid to pave the way for zmills

The Harris STRATEGY
