From Fox News:
Maine Gov. Janet Mills dropped out of the race for U.S. Senate in her home state on Thursday.
Mills announced the move in a statement posted on X, saying she failed to raise enough funds to support her campaign. Mills was vying with other Democrats for a chance to challenge Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine.
"While I have the drive and passion, commitment and experience, and above all else – the fight – to continue on, I very simply do not have the one thing that political campaigns unfortunately require today: the financial resources," Mills wrote.
Mills' departure leaves political newcomer Graham Platner the frontrunner in the Democratic primary. Platner has run a deeply controversial campaign, in addition to being the subject of various scandals, including his having a "Totenkopf" Nazi SS tattoo.
So did she drop out to help the guy with the Nazi tattoo? Or so Collins can beat him?
Enguiring minds wanna know.
