Overview
- In an NBC interview released Wednesday, Graham Platner said Democrats should use Senate subpoenas to "shut the White House down" with wide-ranging investigations if they win control.
- He said he would urge the House to impeach Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, describing a "compelling case" rooted in ethics concerns.
- Platner backed imposing ethics rules on the Supreme Court and said he is open to adding seats to the bench.
- The progressive Marine veteran leads Gov. Janet Mills in primary polling, touts endorsements from figures like Bernie Sanders, and is preparing for a likely matchup with Sen. Susan Collins.
- Platner faces GOP attacks over past Reddit posts and a Nazi‑resembling tattoo, and his impeachment drive would face steep hurdles because removal requires a House vote and a two‑thirds Senate conviction that has never happened.
