The Same People Who Went After Zohran Mamdani Are Coming for Graham Platner

Graham Platner, the main Democratic Senate candidate in Maine, has been facing what Hawk describes as the most coordinated bipartisan campaign against a single Democratic candidate he has ever seen. Platner's vocal criticism of the current Israeli government, the Israeli military, and the ongoing genocide in Gaza has made him a target not just from Republicans, but from APAC-aligned establishment Democrats as well.
The New York Times published a piece citing accounts from some of Platner's ex-girlfriends, but one of the key women in that article, Lindsay Field, a Republican operative who co-founded Ladies for Kavanaugh in 2018, publicly stated that the Times twisted and misrepresented her words to make Platner look bad.
Hawk draws a direct parallel to the coordinated effort against Zohran Mamdani in New York City, where establishment Democrats including Kirsten Gillibrand called him a jihadist on national television. Mamdani won anyway. The question now is whether the same playbook works on Platner in Maine.
