Sanders, who’s already endorsed Platner for #MESEN, gets explicit about not wanting Mills to run:

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Graham Platner is a great working class candidate for Senate in Maine who will defeat Susan Collins.

It’s disappointing that some Democratic leaders are urging Governor Mills to run. We need to focus on winning that seat & not waste millions on an unnecessary & divisive primary.

A rare poll of Pennsylvania's supreme court!

Among likely voters, a new F&M poll finds... a lot of uncertainty, & "yes" to retention ahead for all 3 Dem justices.

The yes leads the no 39/29, 39/22, and 38/25. But that's a ton of voters who say they don't know for each one.
