This means he can be replaced with another Democrat

Per the NYT

Graham Platner can be replaced as the Democratic nominee for Senate in Maine if he withdraws from the race by next Monday, and state law would then give the state Democratic Party until July 27 to name a replacement.

    All that is true.

    And with any luck he may have been willing to show the same behavior to the enemy. The left could have had their very own psychopathic killer who likely would have been very amenable to brutally crushing republican opposition In a bloody pogrom.

    Alas, we’ll just lose sanctimoniously.

        As entertaining as that would be, no.

        BUT, I do think he would be willing to violate the constitution in order to attack political enemies.
