Ronald Holmes, national finance director for Democratic Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner, resigned Friday after saying his professional standards no longer aligned with the campaign — the third senior departure amid scrutiny of Platner’s past posts and a tattoo resembling a Nazi symbol. The campaign stressed its reliance on small-dollar fundraising despite the shake-up.
A CNN investigation has revealed that Michigan state Sen. Mallory McMorrow deleted around 6,000 old tweets shortly after launching her U.S. Senate campaign. The posts included criticisms of rural America, complaints about Michigan weather, and a fantasy about coastal states separating from the Midwest. Her Democratic rivals have criticized the revelations amid a tight primary race.

Kevin Brown, newly hired to run Graham Platner’s Maine Senate campaign, has left the job days after starting, citing a family development. The exit adds to recent turbulence for the Democrat’s bid as controversies over old Reddit posts and a Nazi-linked tattoo continue to reverberate. Platner remains locked in a volatile primary that now includes Governor Janet Mills.
