Graham Platner launched his campaign last week to unseat Susan Collins, who has held her seat for nearly 30 years, having easily survived previous Democratic challenges. She is up for reelection in 2026.

Platner rejects labels, but has garnered praise for his statements calling Israel’s siege on Gaza a genocide. He posted a photo on social media of his high school yearbook, where he held up a sign that called for a free Palestine, as well as other besieged regions like Kosovo and Kashmir.

I read that wrong and thought it said Bernie is going to rally WITH Susan Collins and thought I had a stroke for a moment.

Good for him, truly. We need to get concern troll Susan Collins out of the Senate, it's maddening she's still there

I think you've got a misplaced modifier in your lead-in? It reads as if Susan Collins is campaigning on a populist platform.
