In a scathing commentary, National Review's Jim Geraghty has blasted the recent collapse of the Platner campaign in Maine, calling it a catastrophic failure. The remarks come as attention shifts to Michigan, where progressive darling Abdul El-Sayed is vying for a US Senate seat. El-Sayed's bid has sent shockwaves of excitement among members of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), a group that has been instrumental in shaping the party's left-wing agenda. As El-Sayed's campaign gains momentum, observers are eagerly watching to see if his progressive platform will resonate with Michigan voters.


The implosion of the Platner campaign in Maine went “about as horribly as it possibly could have,” and now attention turns Michigan, where Abdul El-Sayed’s run for US senate is “really thrilling DSA hearts,” snarks National Review’s Jim Geraghty.
