Here is yet another example why Democrats should never be in charge of anything ever again… They blew $16 million in campaign funds, just to get Graham Platner elected in the primary against dried out Janet Mills.
The Democrat Party used up a mountain of cash in support of Maine’s Graham Platner, who suspended his campaign for the U.S. Senate on Wednesday in light of sexual assault allegations.
Platner was accused of breaking into Jenny Racicot’s home and sexually assaulting her in 2021 when the pair were in an “on-and-off relationship,” Breitbart News reported Monday, noting other women have accused him of targeting them.
Now, the Democrat Party and other organizations are no longer backing him, WGME reported Tuesday.
“According to the latest data from the Federal Election Commission, as of May 20, Platner has raised more than $16 million since last July. He managed to spend more than $14 million of that, leaving just over $2 million in the bank,” the outlet said.
“Under guidelines by the FEC, a candidate who drops out does have control over leftover funds,” the report continued, adding, “The candidate can return the money to donors, transfer up to $2,000 per election to other federal, state, local or foreign candidates, or donate to charitable organizations.”
