""While I have the drive and passion, commitment and experience, and above all else - the fight - to continue on, I very simply do not have the one thing that political campaigns unfortunately require today: the financial resources.""
"Mills was seen as one of Democrats' top 2026 recruits when she entered the Senate race last year, backed by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and prominent left-leaning advocacy groups."

Janet Mills, the two-term governor of Maine, suspended her U.S. Senate campaign just weeks before the Democratic primary.

Mills did not endorse Platner but committed to defending democracy as governor until the end of her term.
