YouTube Description
as posted by the channelBig news out of the Maine Democratic primary! Governor Janet Mills has officially dropped out of the race for Senate against progressive Graham Platner. And the reason she gives for ending her campaign is… interesting.
We all probably should have seen this coming when Governor Mills vetoed a moratorium on new data centers being built in Maine. That’s a move so unpopular, only someone who knew they were dropping out would make. And wouldn’t you know it, Mills announced she is no longer running in the Democratic primary. This leaves progressive Graham Platner to face Republican Susan Collins in the general election.
The funny thing is, Janet Mills' given reason for dropping out is kinda funny. In her official statement, she said that, “I very simply do not have the one thing the political campaigns unfortunately require today: the financial resources.” Wow! So Chuck Schumer’s endorsed candidate couldn’t raise enough money to run? I guess those AIPAC checks are hard to come by these days.
May 21st, 8pm Pasadena! Francesca and Matt Lieb will be LIVE for New World Disorder at The Ice House. Tickets $16 here
