WATCH: Collins rips Maine challenger Platner over resurfaced Reddit post mocking wounded US soldier

Sen. Susan Collins criticized Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner over resurfaced Reddit posts in which he mocked a wounded U.S. soldier, Pfc. Ted Daniels, who was shot four times in combat in 2012. Platner, the presumptive Democratic nominee challenging Collins in the 2026 midterm election, has faced ongoing scrutiny over multiple deleted Reddit posts containing offensive content. Collins' campaign has launched attack ads and a website compiling Platner's controversies as the race is expected to be highly competitive.
