Collins Sticks to Script Following Platner Exit

“Sen. Susan Collins has a simple campaign strategy after Graham Platner’s implosion: Stay the course,” NOTUS reports.

“Democrats in Maine and at the national level are reckoning with their own tumult after a woman publicly accused the Democrats’ nominee of sexual assault, effectively ending Platner’s campaign. Now the party is forced to launch a two-week process to coalesce around his replacement.”

“But Collins is hardly changing a beat in her operation despite facing a brand new general election opponent — one who could be vastly different from the progressive Platner, who Republicans were itching to draw a contrast with — just over three months out from the midterm elections.”
