'New Democrat party': Senate GOP sounds off on 'extreme' Graham Platner as Senate race in Maine heats up

Senate Republicans criticize Graham Platner, the new Democratic nominee in Maine, for his progressive views and ties to Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Platner's candidacy follows Governor Janet Mills' exit due to financial struggles, which Republicans argue signals Democratic establishment weakness. Despite Platner's polling lead, Republicans highlight his controversial past posts and rural voter antagonism as attack points.
