Janet Mills Attends Funeral as Democrats Seek Alternative to Graham Platner in Maine Senate Race
Maine Governor Janet Mills attended the funeral of the late Rep. Barney Frank in Boston, while many Democrats hoped she would revive her Senate campaign against Graham Platner. Mills had previously suspended her campaign in April after trailing Platner in polls. Despite allegations of misconduct against Platner, Mills chose not to re-enter the race, although she remains on the ballot. Platner, an oyster farmer, has faced accusations from former girlfriends and controversy over a Nazi-related tattoo. Mills, who has not endorsed any candidate, is seen as a potential protest vote against Platner, who is the presumptive Democratic nominee.
