US EditionPlatner’s campaign manager steps down amid controversies
- On Monday, Axios reported Kevin Brown resigned as campaign manager for Graham Platner's Democratic Senate campaign after starting Tuesday and learning Friday he is expecting a baby.
- Kevin Brown previously served as a senior adviser on Elizabeth Warren's presidential campaign and is a longtime friend of Platner who briefly managed the campaign; his exit appears unrelated to recent controversies, Axios reports.
- Campaign turmoil includes revelations that Graham Platner's campaign faced nearly two weeks of shake-ups, deleted Reddit posts attributed to Platner prompted Genevieve McDonald’s resignation earlier this month, and a Totenkopf-like skull-and-crossbones tattoo drew criticism.
- The departure deepens turbulence for Platner's bid, the latest shake-up complicating a primary including Gov. Janet Mills, though Platner leads with 58% versus her 24% in polls.
- Amid a competitive primary, Graham Platner retains Sen. Bernie Sanders's endorsement last week while Gov. Janet Mills entered the race, intensifying the contest against Sen. Susan Collins next year.
