He isn’t unopposed, she suspended her campaign she did not withdraw from the ballot. and her funding got pulled because she was getting shellacked in polls.
Platner is one of four candidates on the primary ballot: Costello, Mills (yes she suspended her campaign but she’s still on the ballot), and the write-in candidate LaFlamme. Surprised you didn’t know that given it’s right there in the link I provided.
yes indeed, that is what I also said along with a source corroborating both that statement and the fact that she is still on the ballot and thus can be voted for, along with 2 additional other people, meaning Planter is not, in fact, unopposed in the primary which is going to happen tomorrow nor has he actually won it yet. The polling absolutely suggests that Planter will win it. But he hasn’t actually won it yet.
