Team Collins

Split-screen in the Senate press gallery: Sen. Susan Collins is about to cast her 10,000th consecutive vote as Graham Platner is on @chrislhayes addressing today’s @nytimes story

Left-wing Senate candidate Graham Platner often touts his role as harbormaster of his Maine town—one he has repeatedly said on the campaign trail he actively “serves” in—as proof of his “working class” bona fides. “He actually held the role for roughly 18 months before quitting to launch his Senate campaign—and it was largely a ‘clerical’ one, according to local records and people familiar with the position,” @peterjhasson and @alanagoodman report.

#NEW: The campaign for #Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner @grahamformaine has found its way to the #Massachusetts Democratic Convention today, with staffers walking signs around the event arena soliciting campaign volunteers. This comes as Platner has seen waning support among the #Democratic party for his Nazi tattoo and his controversial actions before launching his campaign. It looks like @SenMarkey’s campaign offered some table space to Platner’s staffers as well. Senator Elizabeth Warren @ewarren, who has fully backed Platner, will be speaking at today’s convention. #Maine #Massachusetts #Politics #Platner #Warren

“I never thought I’d see the day when Democrats would even consider backing a candidate like this.” #mepolitics @WSJopinion
