CNN Can't Find a Single Maine Democrat Who Won't Vote for Platner

Danny Freeman and Maine Democrat voter CNN This Morning: Weekend 6-6-26CNN's biased man-in-the-street interviews strike again.
Last month, the network cherry-picked two Texas Republicans who said they wouldn't vote for Ken Paxton in the general election, including one who said he'd "absolutely" vote for James Talarico. It was then fair to ask how many actual Paxton supporters they interviewed before settling on just those two.
It was more of the same on Saturday's CNN This Morning: Weekend. Reporter Danny Freeman hit the streets in Maine ahead of Tuesday's primary. There are over 386,000 registered Democrats in Maine. But Freeman couldn't find — or CNN chose not to air — a single one who said he would refuse to vote for scandal-plagued candidate Graham Platner.
The closest he came was finding a supposed Janet Mills supporter who lamented Democrats would lose in November — but she did not say anything about whether she would abandon her party's nominee!
