Democrats Call Truce in Maine

“Senate Democrats are adopting a new strategy in their Maine Senate primary: staying all the way out of it,” Semafor reports.

“Chief among them is Bernie Sanders, who propelled Graham Platner’s rise and supported the gubernatorial bid of Troy Jackson. Though Jackson is seeking the progressive mantle in the race to replace Platner on the ballot, the Vermont independent is done with trying to be a Pine Tree State kingmaker.”

Said Sanders: “It’s an unprecedented moment. The people of Maine should work it out themselves. Right now it’s best that the people of Maine make their own decisions without outside influence.”
