    Isn’t the primary like, today?

    Yeah, but Janet Mills dropped out in April. She was the only significant contender against Platner for the nomination.

    A lot of people have seemed hellbent on absolutely not supporting anyone but Platner

    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.
