Portland, Maine. Graham Platner won the Democratic primary on Tuesday, securing his party’s nomination to challenge Republican Sen. Susan Collins in the November general election; the Associated Press call was noted at 9:25 p.m. with early returns. Platner, a combat veteran and oyster farmer, addressed campaign controversies and framed his candidacy around redemption and service. The result sets up a high-stakes race this November that could influence Senate control and attract national attention and outside spending; Ro Khanna told CNN voters gave Platner 'a chance at redemption' and Axios highlighted the win as a progressive upset over party-backed candidates including Gov. Janet Mills, while Collins ran uncontested on the GOP side.
