Elizabeth Warren endorses Nazi-tattooed Graham Platner in high-stakes Maine Senate primary

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass, is throwing her weight behind newcomer Graham Platner in Maine’s high-stakes Democratic primary in June — a pivotal showdown that will determine who will face incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins in November.

Warren’s endorsement, announced Wednesday in a video statement posted by Platner’s campaign, marks a significant boost for Platner as he continues to gain traction in the race against chief rival Gov. Janet Mills, who has the full backing of party leadership.
