Democrats weigh whether a Senate majority is possible without Platner
Democrats are divided over whether winning Maine's Senate race is essential to flipping the Senate in November. While some, like Elizabeth Warren, back Graham Platner's candidacy, others, including Raphael Warnock and Jacky Rosen, argue the party can secure the majority without Maine due to multiple competitive races. Platner faces scrutiny over controversial past actions and comments, complicating Democratic unity.
