Updated on
ai generated text

Graham Platner, a Maine oyster farmer, Marine veteran, and harbormaster, secured the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate on June 9. His anti‑establishment, populist message has garnered a strong following among voters who feel disillusioned with traditional party politics. The party sees his win as a key opportunity to regain the Senate seat.

    1. Now, the national pundits, the political establishment, they keep looking for that one story, that one headline, that one moment in my life that they can define the campaign by. But in trying so hard to understand me, they fail to understand that this is not about me at all. This is a movement about us.
    2. She serves the Epstein class. She serves her corporate donors and the corrupt political system that has rigged the economy against us. She does not serve us, and so we will defeat Susan Collins.
    3. The truth is, Susan Collins does not serve us. She serves Donald Trump.
    4. To all those who feel let down, disappointed, or disillusioned. It is my job to earn your trust, your faith, and your support. And I will spend every day of this campaign, and if I have the privilege, every day in the United States Senate, doing exactly that.
    5. And the reason I believe is that is because I have lived it. And the reason I have lived it is because of my wife.
    6. If you believe, as I do, that we can change our politics, and change our country, then you must also believe that people can change.
    7. I'm humbled and proud to officially be your Democratic nominee for the US Senate to take on Susan Collins and the billionaire class she represents.

    1. And he's just been caught doing and saying all of these things (...) consistently, he's been lying about all of his behavior and the things that he's done.
    2. Being a dirt bag is not authentic. You know, being a dirt bag is being a dirt bag.

    1. I don't think that it's to hand-wave away any of this. I think it's … for voters, and frankly, I don't think the people of Maine are particularly concerned about what people in Washington are fretting about with this.

    1. At the end of the day, it will be up to the voters of Maine what they make of his arguments, both in terms of his personal conduct, but also in terms of the issues they care most about.

    1. I don't understand how somebody like this is going to represent our party and I think the best action would be for him to leave and get somebody else who's qualified onto the ballot.
    2. How can you accept somebody who abused women? That's going to affect us in other parts of the country and campaigns and I think really be an issue for the party.
  6. US
    Susan Collins
    Republican Party
    1. The allegations against Graham Platner are extremely troubling and serious, and he owes the people of Maine a detailed answer. And I haven't heard that.
  7. US
    Shawn Roderick
    Republican Party
    1. Mainers aren't looking for bitter campaigns, grand promises, or angry speeches riddled with lies.
  8. US
    Lauren French
    Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee
    1. The difference between the two couldn't be plainer: Platner's agenda supports working people and families, while Collins upholds Washington's status quo.
