Democrats Prioritize Establishment Over Populism in Maine Senate Race Primary
The Democratic establishment is backing Governor Janet Mills, despite voter desire for younger candidates, setting up a primary challenge against a rising leftwing populist, Graham Platner. Readers gain insight into how establishment funding threatens insurgent campaigns and the complex messaging required to win purple states.
Short Summary
- Democrats are crowning Governor Janet Mills (77) to face Senator Susan Collins, bypassing younger populist alternative Graham Platner.
- Establishment figures like Chuck Schumer are funding Mills via a joint committee, signaling an effort to control the primary narrative financially.
- Potential risk: Mills's established profile may offer less upside against Collins than Platner, who appeals to independents and Republicans.
- Platner faces scrutiny for appearing overly elitist in past comments regarding uneducated voters, despite his populist credentials.
The discussion analyzes the strategic choice by Democratic leadership in Maine to support the older, established governor over a non-traditional primary candidate. This decision highlights the tension between securing a known quantity and embracing candidates who might better energize the base against the incumbent Republican. Understanding the financial mechanisms backing Mills clarifies why Platner is fighting an uphill battle against apparatus money.

Dems- why is our approval rating is like 8% Also Dems- let’s run this 77 year old!
She didn’t “jump” into the race, she inched her walker forward into it.
Saagar schooling Platiner about being condescending is rich! 😂
This is Obama levels of interference. The party may not be called the party of FDR anymore. It’s the party of Judas.
She's not just old. She's "HISTORICALLY OLD" 🤣
“I don’t think I could live with myself if I didn’t do everything I can to stop what’s going on in Washington,” What about backing another younger candidate to your left who actually has a chance of winning? Would you do that?
Saagar. He isn't saying that the only reason someone could disagree with him is because they aren't educated, he said the only way someone could hold this *specific* idea, WHICH IS A LIE, is if they didn't know better because they believed the lie they were told. And is not aware of the truth.
Saagar's problem with Graham is NOT that Graham used to work for Blackwater, but that he criticized someone for lying about immigrants. Dude's a broken record.
I think it's fairly obvious that Sagar has a bias against Platner.
The average age of the senate is actively a national security risk, preventing the government from understanding and solving current US problems.
