@XochitlHinojosa warns fellow Democrats to not be overly enthusiastic supporters of Graham Platner because, if they want to run in 2028, it could be used against them....
“I don't think it really gets him anything for Democratic leaders in Washington to be defending him. So, why they're [sic] defending him? I'm actually not sure. One warning I have for Democrats is women is what makes up the vast majority or majority of the electorate that will be — that will give us the senate, that will give us the house. And we need women in order to win in 2028. If you are eyeing a run for presidency and you are going out there and campaigning for Graham Platner, I would say that is pretty bad advice that you have been given right now, because, at some point, you yourself will be needed. You need to make the case to women directly. Let Graham Platner do his thing in Maine. Let him raise the money. Let him tell it. You know, go ahead and hit and hit Collins, etc. But I don't think that national Democrats need to go out there on a limb for him at this point, knowing that there could potentially be something more that comes out. Fingers crossed. Everybody's holding their breath in Washington that doesn’t happen. But we don’t know for sure.”
