He's been endorsed by Senator Bernie Sanders.
He's really this kind of disruptor type of candidate that we're seeing come out.
Whereas Governor Mills, she's been in office for seven years.
She's the best known Democrat in Maine by far.
And there was a lot of support for her to run against Senator Collins.
But she waited, what people are saying, just too long to get into the race.
She waited for several months after Graham Plattner got in.
And now you have this kind of dynamic between a disruptor candidate during an election year when a lot of Democrats want to see change, and you have the more establishment, older Democrat.
Yeah, I guess a lot of the Democratic primary campaign right now, a lot of the differences seem to be somewhat style related and age related and experience.
You have Graham Plattner, who's a newcomer.
He's coming in and saying, I'm going to shake things up in Washington.
We don't need kind of the same old, same old.
On the other side, you have Governor Mills, who can point to her not only her seven years as governor, but
as a fairly moderate Democrat, but also her tenure as attorney general and prosecutor.
She was the first woman attorney general, prosecutor and governor in Maine.
So her argument to Democratic voters is, look,
I'm the experienced person.
I've gone toe to toe with Donald Trump.
I've gone toe to toe with our former controversial Republican governor, Paul LePage, who you guys may remember.
I'm perfectly willing to stand up for the people of Maine.
