Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner criticized Sen. John Fetterman at a town hall, calling him an 'asshole' and saying he won't be 'nonfunctional' in the Senate like Fetterman. Platner won the Democratic primary on Tuesday and will face Republican Susan Collins in the general election, though his campaign has been marked by separate allegations of past misconduct that he has called politically motivated. The remark fits a pattern of aggressive positioning by Platner in a race that has become one of 2026's most contentious Senate matchups.
