@rosewdc@PollTracker2024 Mills has suspended her campaign and all the above is nothing more than whispers. If Platner wins the primary narrowly, that's on him alone.
@AGlavkoverkh@BasedIllinoisan@spicy1812 It is important to note that we cannot see this race in a vacuum. It's not a gubernatorial race. Susan Collins could indeed be the 51st vote to make the Dem president a lame duck from day one.
@clusterbitch_ My fear is that, because it's hard to envision a majority w/o Maine, Susan Collins could very well mean the next Dem pres starts out as a lame duck who never accomplishes a thing legislatively.
@tetrarosie The Senate race is between a proven overperformer and a generic R.
The Governor race is between a normiedem and a gaffe machine (tho I'm not aware of Acton advertising those gaffes yet).
I'm not sure who we should expect to be doing better.
@sdsid1780@theoelections Tbf, Sherrod is Sherrod and Acton is a generic normiedem (the GOPs only issue is that her opponent is a gaffe machine). Maybe the prior polling was a defiance of what you would expect based on the facts of the race?

@celeste43_@cybusMan@Faj1791 Idk if that's necessarily the case. Like, Jared Golden for example used to win a district that went for Trump by 10. You'd imagine a lot of those voters are very much not fans of national Dems(like, say, Pelosi or AOC), yet they sent a Dem to Congress.
