I think it's safe to say that party leaders really want to avoid being viewed as handpicking a so-called establishment candidate.
during an election when they really need huge turnout among Democrats and independents to defeat Susan Collins.
Well, we just had two hotly contested Democratic primaries for governor and a U.S.
House seat about a month ago.
Many of those folks are contenders.
One is the former Maine Senate president, Troy Jackson.
He's a logger from the very northern tip of Maine and an unabashed progressive who has spent years pushing some of the same ideas as Plattner.
Things like Medicare for all, workers' rights, higher taxes on billionaires.
Another progressive is our current Secretary of State, Shanna Bellows.
She's made national headlines pushing back against President Trump.
And then there's Dr. Nirav Shah, who headed the state's COVID-19 response and was second in charge at the U.S.
CDC for a time.
I'd say it's unclear at this point, but they're definitely trying.
The Senate Majority PAC, which is the big super PAC for Democratic Senate candidates, they've said it would only continue investing tens of millions of dollars in Maine if Plattner withdraws.
And then yesterday we saw the group Our Revolution, which is a spinoff of Bernie Sanders' campaign,
endorsed Troy Jackson.
But I'd say kind of it's a tightrope for these national groups to walk because Maine is a fairly independent state where Plattner was so popular because of his loud anti-DC establishment message.
Thank you.
Good morning, Michelle.
Yeah, IOC officials have signaled for a long time they were increasingly uncomfortable with these sanctions.
