Graham Platner’s troubles grow in Maine, and Democrats are increasingly nervous

The Hill
by Amie Parnes and Julia Mueller
06/06/26

Democrats are questioning whether Graham Platner, the oyster farmer turned Maine Senate candidate, is quickly becoming a liability in one of the most important races in the upper chamber.

To win back the Senate majority, Democrats almost certainly need to see Platner defeat Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), who is running to save her seat in a tough year for Republicans, particularly in a state President Trump has repeatedly lost.

For weeks, Democrats have felt relatively good about Platner, who was ahead of Collins in the polls.

But as he hits controversy after controversy, the Democratic anxieties are mounting.

Just in the last week, Platner confronted revelations surrounding sexually explicit messages he sent to women while married. He traveled to Washington to meet with Democratic senators amid the news of the controversial text messages.

Democratic senators hoped there would be no more revelations; instead, The New York Times published a story Thursday evening in which several former girlfriends of Platner cast him in a negative light.

The election in Maine was supposed to be a referendum on Collins, a moderate Republican who has served in the Senate for five terms, at least in the view of Democrats.

They are now worried it may become a referendum on Platner.

Platner is a serial cheater.  He's cheating on his wife now, and he cheated on his "conquests."  After serving up a steady diet of accusations against their political foes, the Democrats look more hypocritical every day.

A recent poll I saw (yesterday?) now has both Collins and platner tied at 46%, with the remaining 8% undecided.

That's better than previous polls that showed him ahead, but still for her to be 4 points under 50% ought to be worrisome.

He sounds like that NBC News babe on Meet the Press:  "There no evidence!  There's no evidence!!  There's no evidence!!!"

There's plenty of evidence if you could be bothered to look.  I'm beginning to hope Platner wins the primary, just to see how many Democrats he drags down with him as the General Election heats up.  Platner will not cut the Democrats a break and drop out before then, leaving his defenders twisting in the wind.

This morning, the Wall Street Journal’s report on Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner includes the detail that at the candidate’s Sunday evening town hall, no one asked him about his past misconduct. Supporters signed a poster board that said, “We are your Grahamily! and we’ve got your back.” On it, people wrote messages like, “Everyone has a past! Keep Going!” The widespread perception at the event was that Platner was the victim in this story, a good man who had been wronged by ex-girlfriends and excessive scrutiny from an unscrupulous media.

A whole lot of Republicans are looking at Platner and wondering how Democrats could possibly support such a moral reprobate. But the history leading up to this, and the thinking at work between their ears, isn’t that hard to discern.

Yes, we all have a past, but I suspect none of us ever wanted to rape a man, kill people just for the fun of it, abuse women, lie about our military record, collect VA disability for a non-existent injury, or throw people in jail for the things they say.
