Mills Denies Agreeing To Midcoast Debate Against Platner, Organizers Blame “Confusion”

Gov. Janet Mills says she never committed to an upcoming U.S. Senate Democrat debate, despite the moderator claiming she had.

The debate with Mills opponents is scheduled for April 11 in Topsham.

Moderator Colin Woodard was quoted over the weekend as having said Mills “pulled out” of the debate.

“Mills just pulled out of the debate,” Woodard was quoted. “Scheduling conflict I’m told.”

He called it “disappointing for primary voters and maybe not optimal if you’re behind by 30 points in the polls.”

But the two-term limited governor claims she never agreed to participate.

Debate organizers issued a statement apologizing for “confusion” over whether the governor would be there.

Ps: 109:29

Let my accusers put on shame, and be wrapped in their own confusion as in a cloak.
