Voters didn’t send any message. There hasn’t been an election in Maine. Platner hasn’t won. In 2024, when Biden was forced out, Maine elected 80 year old Angus King. Platner could run for governor and he could choose who replaces Mills if she died. Republicans aren’t attacking Susan Collins for being too old. The only difference between Mills and Sherril or Spanberger is age. Democrats have fully given into the Republican ageism.
