During a CNN panel discussion, Bakari Sellers compared Hunter Biden and California Governor Gavin Newsom to a 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles'-style political pairing. The conversation focused on Biden's defense of Maine Democratic Senate nominee Graham Platner. Sellers noted that some Democrats are attracted to the combative approach of Biden and Newsom. He stated that Newsom's popularity might stem from qualities similar to those of Donald Trump. Biden defended Platner against allegations of being abusive or racist, highlighting his progressive policy positions. CNN anchor Abby Phillip remarked on the mixed reactions among Democrats regarding Biden's online criticisms of former President Donald Trump. Former DNC communications director Xochitl Hinojosa cautioned that Democrats should be mindful of the implications of supporting Platner, especially considering the importance of women voters in the party's coalition. Platner recently won the Democratic Senate nomination and is set to compete against Republican Senator Susan Collins in the upcoming election.
