Maine Governor Janet Mills announced on Thursday morning that she is suspending her Democratic primary campaign for US Senate. The move means Maine’s Senate race will likely come down to Democrat candidate Graham Platner and incumbent GOP Senator Susan Collins. 

“When I decided to run for the United States Senate last year, it was because I believed Maine people were getting a bad deal from Washington and because the President of the United States was threatening our democracy and pushing our nation to the brink of disaster. I continue to believe that today,” Mills wrote.

“While I have the drive and passion, commitment and experience, and above all else — the fight — to continue on, I very simply do not have the one thing that political campaigns unfortunately require today: the financial resources. That is why today I have made the incredibly difficult decision to suspend my campaign for the United States Senate.”

This is a breaking story.
