    Since Platner launched his campaign in August, the oyster farmer and military veteran has positioned himself as a champion of the working class. He has forcefully called out the oligarchy, Israel dropping US bombs on the Gaza Strip, President Donald Trump’s attacks on US cities, and Collins, who has represented Maine since 1997.

    Zeteo reporter Prem Thakker, pointing to Gillibrand and the group’s vice chairs: Democratic Sens. Mark Kelly (Ariz.), Adam Schiff (Calif.), and Lisa Blunt Rochester (Del.). “These are the Democrats now fundraising for someone to become the oldest freshman (age 79) ever elected to a six-year term. All to stop Graham Platner.”

    Platner has secured endorsements from Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and unions including the United Auto Workers.
