Quote of the Day
“Mr. Platner’s progressive, populist message — anti-corporate, anti-establishment and opposing military aid to Israel, but not “woke” or democratic socialist — was able to occupy a kind of middle ground in the Democratic primary electorate. It’s a middle ground that many mainstream Democratic politicians have talked about in theory, but haven’t usually seized in actual elections.”
Despite dropping out of the 2026 ME Senate Race, Cohn says there are lessons to be learned from Graham Platner's campaign for Democrats.
