Maine Democratic Party Bars Primary Winner Plattner From Succession Process
Breaking Points
Maine DEMS DENY Platner ANY SAY In Replacement
"We have repeatedly reiterated to Graham Plattner's team that they have no role in determining our next Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate, nor in determining what this process looks like. We have also reiterated that Graham Plattner must drop out of this race so that Democrats in Maine can focus on defeating Susan Collins this November."
Maine Democratic Party Executive Director Devin Murphy Anderson publicly stated that Graham Plattner, who won more votes in the Democratic primary than anyone in Maine history, will have no input in selecting his replacement if he withdraws. The party rejected attempts by Plattner's campaign to understand or participate in the replacement process, despite his historic primary victory over a sitting governor and the backing of over 150,000 voters and 15,000 volunteers.
