Dems in Maine's Trump-friendly district back Platner despite party backlash
Democrats in Maine’s 2nd Congressional District support Senate candidate Graham Platner despite party backlash over his controversial social media posts and a covered-up tattoo resembling a Nazi symbol. Three leading Democratic contenders for an open House seat have endorsed Platner, while centrists within the party criticize the alignment, complicating efforts to retain a swing seat in a Republican-leaning district.
