US EditionFetterman on Platner after Mills exits Maine Senate race: ‘Republicans f‑‑‑ing love him’
Mills’ exit leaves Platner as Democrats’ nominee-in-waiting, as Fetterman attacks his record and past posts draw fresh scrutiny.
- Maine Governor Janet Mills exited the Senate race Thursday, leaving progressive Graham Platner as the primary challenger to Republican Senator Susan Collins and prompting sharp criticism from Senator John Fetterman.
- Scrutiny has centered on Platner's past Reddit posts calling police 'b*stards' and rural white Americans 'racist,' alongside reports of a Nazi tattoo on his chest and sharing neo-Nazi content.
- Fetterman told NOTUS reporter Igor Bobic that 'the Republicans f**ing love him,' suggesting the GOP views Platner as an easy target in a general election despite Democratic reservations.
- Dismissing the friendly fire, Platner framed his campaign as a populist uprising at a press conference, vowing to 'start tearing down the system' that has ignored Maine voters.
- Despite his disdain for Platner, Fetterman has no plans to support Collins, leaving Maine voters with a stark choice between the long-serving incumbent and the controversial challenger.
