Summary
Maine’s top election official, Shenna Bellows, is stepping out of the U.S. Senate race to focus on defending democracy amid escalating threats from President Trump, calling for unity among Democrats as they rush to replace her after Graham Platner’s exit over sexual assault allegations. With the nomination process compressed into days and delegates already leaning toward former Senate President Troy Jackson, Bellows urges the party to rally behind whoever wins to take on GOP incumbent Susan Collins in November — a battle she knows well from her 2014 run.
