缅因州州长反对阻止对以色列的武器销售，担心影响“铁穹”防御系统
Read, Watch or Listen
Portland, Maine. Governor Janet Mills said Friday at a South Portland campaign stop that she would not have voted in favor of a joint Senate resolution to stop arms sales to Israel if the resolution also blocked defensive weapons, citing concerns that it might prevent systems that support the Iron Dome. She noted she had not reviewed the full text of the resolution and framed her objection narrowly around defensive capabilities. This week, senators recorded roll-call votes on specific transfers: 47 Democrats voted to prevent a $295 million sale of bulldozers, and 36 voted to block a $152 million sale of 1,000‑pound bombs. Mills also criticized opponent Graham Platner’s campaign rhetoric on age and continued to say she would serve only one term; campaign events and endorsement appearances are scheduled ahead of the June 9 primary.

美国的国防供应商和以色列从反对广泛封锁国防武器销售的声明中受益，从而为“铁穹”等系统的采购渠道得以保留。
格雷厄姆·普拉特纳（Graham Platner）因纹身争议和使用诽谤性言论而声誉受损、竞选活动受阻，这使他在六月份初选前的宣传工作变得复杂。
