The Democratic Party is losing control over its nomination process as fringe candidates like Graham Platner, a Maine Senate hopeful with controversial tattoos and personal scandals, and Adam Hamawy, a New Jersey congressional candidate with ties to radical groups, secure party support despite controversies. Party leaders like Chuck Schumer endorse these candidates, signaling a shift in influence from establishment figures to progressive and socialist groups.
