Summary
Maine Democrats are holding their first Senate nominee convention in years after withdrawing their original pick, Graham Platner, amid serious allegations he denies. With a 13-page plan and 601 delegates—including 25% required to meet diversity criteria like LGBTQIA+ or person of color status—voting will proceed in rounds until one candidate secures a majority. The party touts this as their most inclusive process yet, while Republican Senator Susan Collins, seeking her sixth term, remains confident her experience and seniority will carry her through November.
