The New York Times • • nation
Key Points:
- Graham Platner, the likely Democratic Senate nominee in Maine, faced a cautious and somewhat distant reception from Senate Democrats during his visit to Washington.
- Platner, an oyster farmer challenging Republican Senator Susan Collins, invited the entire Senate Democratic caucus to a meeting, but only about six senators attended.
- He also had a brief one-on-one meeting with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who had previously endorsed Platner's primary opponent before she withdrew from the race.
