Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner plans to focus on President Trump during his general election campaign against Senator Susan Collins. Platner intends to highlight this strategy in a speech when he accepts the Democratic nomination on Tuesday night.
A speech seen by The Post indicates that Platner wants to turn the election into a vote on Trump’s presidency. Platner aims to undercut Collins’ support among independents and Democrats by presenting a negative campaign against the incumbent senator.
At a recent town hall meeting in Portland, Maine, Platner received a card from an audience member expressing personal support. The card read, ‘We Are Your Grahamily and We’ve Got Your Back.’
