Republicans Celebrate Joy Amid Chaos in Maine

All eyes are on on Maine this week. Trumpworld political operatives have said The Inner Loop they expect to be interrupted Senator Graham Platner They will stay in the race forever—state election turmoil can only help Republicans, they say.

Platner, a former US Marine, overcame several challenges to easily win the Democratic primary last month. Platner is set to face Republican Susan Collins in the general election in a close race in November, but a group of Democratic officials are now calling for her to drop out.

On Monday, a woman in Maine accused Platner of sexual assault said Politico that he once forced her to sleep with him over her objections. (Platner’s campaign did not respond to a request for comment, though it denied the allegations in a statement to Politico.)

Platner had already been criticized harassing womenhad covered a Nazi Tattooand was associated with many disappointments online reviews. In the last 24 hours, Democrats from Senator Bernie Sanders to Senator Chuck Schumer asked him to withdraw from the race.

Trumpworld operatives say their hope — unsurprisingly — is that Platner will remain in the race, given his growing political presence, his growing circle of adversaries in his own party, and the impact on his fundraising efforts.

Basically, it’s a dumpster fire, and all the Republicans are making s’mores.

“Platner should stay in and fight for civil liberties!” one of the strategists said jokingly The Inner Loop. Like others interviewed in this article, they spoke on the condition of anonymity.

Funding will also be a problem, the staff noted cheerfully. The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, or DSCC, has done it he announced that is not bankroll Platner campaign, if he is in the competition.

The employees are very happy about this: As a result, Platner has to rely on small donors. Despite his popularity, the offer will not cover the millions of dollars that both sides are hoping to pour into TV advertising next year. in the middle. (Boston’s media market is among the 10 most expensive in the country, and Mainers watch TV.)

But Trump’s staff also thinks that even if Platner deviates, the Senate race in Maine will favor Collins.

Democrats have until July 13 for Platner to withdraw, and a July 27 deadline for a special election to replace Platner’s name on the ballot. Democratic supporters in the state said The Inner Loop this could happen on the weekend of July 25, but Trumpworld doesn’t think the candidates will cause much trouble.

Janet Mills, the Maine governor who dropped out of the Democratic Senate primary, is seen as one option. But Mills has a similar record to Collins, who the staff still thinks will win, largely because of Joe Biden’s success in 2020.

Another option is Troy Jackson, a former Maine state senator. But one longtime GOP strategist was skeptical that voters would look behind the baggage of any Democratic candidate following the Platner saga.

“At the end of the day, Democrats had to run a very good race to beat Collins, which they didn’t.” “He’s still very much against the Senate Republicans, so he’s the strongest candidate we’ll have in this race,” said one longtime GOP analyst.

However, Trumpworld and the Republican Senate are expecting a fierce battle in the Maine Senate race that could cost hundreds of millions of dollars. And while he believes Collins can win, it could be tough. Get some graham crackers.
