Graham Platner is officially the Democrats’ nominee in Maine and the stakes for November just got even higher. Supporting Senator Collins is not only about protecting Maine and the U.S. Senate majority. Now, it's about rejecting the metastasizing extremism that is festering in the Democratic Party. A Graham Platner victory would not simply put another Democrat in the Senate. It would send a message that these kinds of hateful comments and ideological extremism are acceptable to the American people. It would create a permission structure for other radical Democrats to embrace this broader Left-wing movement that seeks to overthrow the values of Mainers and the rest of the country. This November, Maine voters have an opportunity to draw a clear line and reject this path. Mainers now have a responsibility to defeat Graham Platner decisively and make the common sense choice for Susan Collins to represent them in Washington.
