As we noted earlier, the Maine Democratic Party have said that Graham Platner’s team has repeatedly tried to “put their thumb on the scale,” when it comes to the process of selecting a new nominee, should the beleaguered veteran end his bid for Senate as expected.
State senator Joe Baldacci, who lost the Democratic primary for Maine’s second congressional district, blasted Platner for attempting to influence the selection of his replacement. “Guess what after you have put the Democratic Party in a shambles and undermined all Democratic candidates running for office in Maine, then you should have no say in who will be your successor,” Baldacci wrote this week, after a woman accused Platner of sexual assault. Shortly after his campaign began to collapse and he lost key endorsements.
Baldacci added that any alternative candidate with a close tie to Platner would be carrying “a lead weight” into the general election.
