I’ve seen people talk about the only option being Platner for months now. Isn’t the primary like, today? A lot of people have seemed hellbent on absolutely not supporting anyone but Platner, and absolutely not supporting any “Mamdani” to go up against him.
Yeah, but Janet Mills dropped out in April. She was the only significant contender against Platner for the nomination.

Mills is currently the most unpopular Governor in the country, with a 29% approval rating (worse than Trump). I don’t think it’s quite so much hellbent on Platner as it is hellbent on not electing another Schumercrat. The only other candidate on the ballot - David Costello - has no budget or constituency. He spent the bulk of his career in Maryland, doing work as a mid-level staffer for the governor.
