ABC News: Jared Kofsky

Jared Kofsky from ABC News discussed the Maine Senate race between Susan Collins and Graham Platner. Recent polls show Plattner leading with 76% of the primary vote, while a late May poll suggested Governor Mills could get 10%. Despite controversies, Mills remains on the ballot. If Platner wins with under 50%, Democrats might panic. Polls predict a 5-6 point win for Platner in November. Voters in Maine, including those in Portland and Bangor, generally support their chosen candidates, with some expressing loyalty to Collins.
