Despite media scrutiny and attacks on his character, progressive Senate candidate Graham Platner continues to gain support in Maine, with 58% of voters backing him. His platform focuses on making life more affordable, shifting the Democratic Party away from corporate interests, and ensuring the wealthy pay their fair share. #GrahamPlatner
If elected, she’d be 79 years old when she’d be sworn in as a freshman congressperson. Senate terms are 6 years. Solid shot at another democrat dying in office again with this one
Platner polls well and is much younger and has run very well with young people and progressives. He polls well against the incumbent republican. The talk for months before Mills entered the race was that Schumer was trying to get her to run
Now there’s stuff coming out about Platner and the Maine race may be screwed regardless. Mills is a bad pick anyways. Biden 2020 level pick for the same reason of too old and not setting up younger generations. Even 60 years old is solid for 2-3 terms before you really get scared that they’re going to Dianne Feinstein themselves in office
That matters far more than the stuff I’m seeing about age, which, honestly, I’m just so sick of hearing about. Seems like the age thing is part of a psyops that some are getting fooled by. It’s quite obvious because I don’t tend to see this kind of fracturing in the Confederate Party - they lined up and voted for Taco even though he has one foot in the grave, and I heard almost none of them talking about his age…
It’s about the policies and the positions. Charlie Kirk and Stephen Miller are both very young and I wouldn’t want them or anything like them anywhere near government. Bernie is quite old, and I do want him in government…
What’s the issue with mills?

Another Pelosi/Schumer democrat.
I get the sense she is a business-as-usual Democrat
