Some prominent supporters of Maine Gov. Janet Mills’ now-suspended run for US Senate suggested Monday she should revive her campaign in a last-ditch effort to stop Graham Platner as his bid becomes engulfed by another controversy.

“People have the impression that I ‘withdrew’ or ‘dropped out,'” Mills said. “But I simply suspended active campaigning. I am still on the ballot.”

The Democrat running for Senate in Maine is confronting newly unearthed sexually explicit texts he sent at the start of his marriage.
