Despite her experience and tenure as the state's top leader, she has struggled to outshine her opponent, first-time candidate Graham Platner, in the Democratic primary set for June 9. Platner's campaign has been gaining momentum, and his fresh perspective may be appealing to voters looking for change. As Mills faces a stiff challenge from within her own party, the outcome of the primary remains uncertain, leaving many to wonder if she will secure her spot on the ballot for the general election.
