In an interview with local outlet <\/span>WMTW<\/span>, Mills said she has not spoken with Jackson and stopped short of endorsing him, adding that she still wants to see Republican Senator Susan Collins go down in November.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe haven\u2019t spoken, but clearly Susan Collins is vulnerable, and she should be \u2014 she should be defeated,\u201d Mills said. She did not comment on whether the process her party had used to coronate Jackson as the nominee would alienate voters.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s unusual for a sitting Democratic governor to withhold an endorsement from her party\u2019s U.S. Senate nominee. Perhaps the <\/span>lingering resentment<\/span> stems from Mills spending months crisscrossing Maine, warning party activists and voters that Platner\u2019s baggage would be too heavy to carry \u2014 even in a blue-leaning state. Voters, along with much of the Democratic establishment, ignored her warnings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Democratic establishment viewed Mills, who was recruited and backed by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), as the strongest candidate to defeat Collins. However, Socialist Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) had different plans.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Daily Wire previously reported<\/span> that leftists turned to the embattled Platner after their initial choice was found to have a major \u201cskeleton\u201d in his closet. In July 2025, two Bernie Sanders-aligned political operatives hunted for a Democrat to challenge Collins, ultimately landing on and recruiting Platner. The oyster farmer launched his campaign a month later<\/span> with a viral video<\/span> that quickly attracted national attention from leftist activists and Democratic donors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ultimately, her strategy failed to gain traction with an increasingly restless base eager to buck their party\u2019s establishment. On April 30, Mills suspended her campaign.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhile I have the drive and passion, commitment and experience, and above all else \u2014 the fight \u2014 to continue on, I very simply do not have the one thing that political campaigns unfortunately require today: the financial resources,\u201d <\/span>Mills said in a statement<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Republicans hope to use Jackson\u2019s conservative past and his new leftward platform as a wedge issue, arguing the shift will alienate voters across the political spectrum and help propel Collins to victory in November.<\/span><\/p>\n
