Graham Platner, the main Democratic Senate candidate in Maine, has been facing what Hawk describes as the most coordinated bipartisan campaign against a single Democratic candidate he has ever seen. Platner's vocal criticism of the current Israeli government, the Israeli military, and the ongoing genocide in Gaza has made him a target not just from Republicans, but from APAC-aligned establishment Democrats as well.
The New York Times published a piece citing accounts from some of Platner's ex-girlfriends, but one of the key women in that article, Lindsay Field, a Republican operative who co-founded Ladies for Kavanaugh in 2018, publicly stated that the Times twisted and misrepresented her words to make Platner look bad.
Hawk draws a direct parallel to the coordinated effort against Zohran Mamdani in New York City, where establishment Democrats including Kirsten Gillibrand called him a jihadist on national television. Mamdani won anyway. The question now is whether the same playbook works on Platner in Maine.
