I have spoken with Graham Platner about the best path forward for Maine. In light of these very serious allegations, I have recommended that he step aside.
Many online leftists are seemingly pushing state senator Troy Jackson as a replacement nominee for Graham Platner.
Jackson, a former candidate for governor, appears to be the most Progressive out of the potential choices. Bernie Sanders backed his gubernatorial run.
BREAKING: There are now multiple reports from a variety of sources on the right and the left, claiming that Mitch McConnell has been unconscious for weeks and is likely braindead..
The fact that family members and Republican insiders are not pushing back on these reports tell you everything you need to know.
Time for a Special Election Kentucky.
amidst calls from all of us to drop out, there's a real populist rage brewing in maine. if the dem establishment think that they can risk the senate majority by not replacing platner with an acceptable substitute - we will be risking a loss to susan collins. troy jackson is him!
There is no place in our politics for sexual violence. Not in our party, not in any party. Graham Platner must withdraw from this race today.
This is not what we stand for. Not as Democrats, not as Mainers, not as human beings. For too long, women who survive sexual violence have been told to stay quiet, to protect the men who hurt them, to think about the campaign, the party, the cause. We cannot ask women to trust us with their futures while looking the other way when one of our own hurts them. That ends here.
I believe Jenny Racicot.
