Breaking NYT: Platner lays out his conditions for withdrawal

[Janbdwl72]

70. So does this mean those who so enthusiastically supported Platner are going to now support Collins?

That makes no sense whatsoever. It's not like there's never been a political race anywhere in which a state's voters had to choose "the lesser of the evils." By the way, I am not a Maine resident--but I do want to see the Democrats win this seat.

If he does withdraw, then Governor Mills will get it. Will some of Platner's supporters just stay home?

Now, regardless of what Platner decides to do in this situation, as many have already indicated, this does show a definite double standard. The Felon and Ken Paxton--just to name two quickly--had as much baggage, but still won? Is it right for voters in Maine to hold Platner to a higher standard than they did the Felon and that Texas voters have done for Paxton the times he has been elected AG and in this spring's Republican primary?
