President Donald Trump criticizes Maine Democratic Senate nominee Graham Platner after Platner wins the Democratic nomination in Tuesday’s primary. Multiple outlets report that Trump speaks at length about Platner on Wednesday, using personal insults such as calling him a “thug” and a “low-level thug,” along with other derogatory remarks. The coverage ties Trump’s comments to a broader set of controversies around Platner, including references to alleged past criminal issues in the reports. PBS and The Hill describe Trump’s remarks as direct and extensive, while Forbes characterizes the comments as following a decisive primary victory. After the primary, Platner becomes the Democratic candidate to face incumbent Republican U.S. Senator Susan Collins in the general election. The reports focus on the language Trump uses and the timing of the attacks immediately after Platner secures the nomination, but do not identify specific policy disputes in their accounts. Overall, the sources agree on the election outcome and the fact that Trump makes personal attacks against Platner during his post-primary remarks.
