He had his own problems.
It's not like, you know, his people are saying, well, he's got this movement and everyone needs to get his movement.
Democrats in Maine have to decide who is going to be the best candidate to win in a general election.
And that is someone who can win women voters.
Susan Collins continues to overperform these elections because she overperforms with women voters.
And so it's not about a Graham-Plattner endorsement.
It's about who the women of Maine want to see as their next United States senator.
Well, first of all, hallelujah to the executive director of the Maine Democratic Party.
She's exactly right.
And that was her telling the Plattner team and Graham Plattner to go jump in a Maine lake.
The process should be very, very grassroots.
It should be very holistic.
It should be incredibly transparent.
You already see some candidates out tonight talking about their interest in running, laying out policies.
You know, they had to over index all
on very clear, very transparent, and very grassroots.
And I think those were the things that people didn't think happened during the 2024 presidential selection for very good reasons.
I don't want to relitigate it.
But a lot of people were pissed about that process.
And my advice to Maine is just go back to what you're good at, which is grassroots, and run a good process that people feel like they have a say in their next candidate.
