‘GOP’s Bush Is High On Platner – Because The Democrat Oyster King Is Easier For Collins To Beat:’ Breitbart

by Ted Cohen | May 4, 2026

Conservative businessman and Maine gubernatorial candidate Jonathan Bush tells Breitbart News the GOP has a “much better chance”of holding its U.S. Senate seat against Democrat Graham Platner than vs. Janet Mills.

“He’s a silly boy,” Bush said in a Saturday interview with Breitbart. “He went to private school, and got kicked out of Hotchkiss, so he went to another private school, and had unsuccessful experience after unsuccessful experience.

“Now he sells oysters to his mom, which is sort of hilarious, that he’s in a getup like a Maine fisherman,” Bush told Breitbart’s Elizabeth Weibel. “He wouldn’t last five minutes as a Maine fisherman, and yet he wants to navigate policy for the United States of America. It’s beautiful if you’re running against him, and so we’re very excited for Susan Collins, and of course for our national Senate.”

Bush said there is a “much better chance of holding this seat now” that Mills has quit the race.
