Portland, Maine. Maine Gov. Janet Mills announced Thursday that she is suspending her campaign for the U.S. Senate, saying she lacked the financial resources necessary to continue; Mills, a two-term governor and former prosecutor, had been recruited by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and entered the race last fall to challenge Republican Sen. Susan Collins. The announcement leaves Graham Platner — an oyster farmer and first-time candidate who has drawn large crowds and led recent polls — as the presumptive Democratic nominee ahead of the June 9 primary, setting up a November contest against Collins and prompting recalibration of fundraising and strategic plans across both parties this week.
