Maine Senate Candidates Lining Up Platner Drops Out
Plenty of Democrats share this view. However, they cannot force him to drop out. So Platner has leverage, whether the state/national party like it or not. Clock is ticking to the July 13 deadline; after that Dems are stuck with Platner as their nominee against Susan Collins.

Talking @grahamformaine w/ @bdomenech, @mkhammer and @ComfortablySmug today as part of the program. If Platner follows the Hunter Biden arc, he’s got to realize staying in at least gives him a non-zero chance of winning and the platform to (1) launch a podcast, (2) screw the Brutus brigade that got him into this disaster and (3) launch a podcast that, crafted to be a wrecking ball, will get the same audience as other nutters. Getting out…nothing.
