Platner Cruises to Maine Senate General Election Despite Scandals

Graham Platner has won the Maine Democrat nomination for the U.S. Senate, officially clearing the field for the scandal-plagued oysterman to challenge Republican incumbent Sen. Susan Collins.

Platner won the nomination with little contest, as Maine Democrat Gov. Janet Mills dropped out of the race in April. However, her name remained on the ballot.

With 88% of the vote tallied by Wednesday morning, the Associated Press called the race for Platner, who received 71.9% of the vote against Mills’ 19.4%.

 In third place, with 8.3% of the vote, was David Costello, who ran in 2024 as the Democratic nominee against incumbent independent Sen. Angus King.

“You have built the most powerful grassroots movement in the history of this state,” Platner told his supporters after the victory. “And when we finally defeat Susan Collins that will be because of you, too.”
