Graham Platner won Maine’s Democratic Senate primary, and outlets report he will face Republican Sen. Susan Collins in the general election.

Left-leaning outlets present the result chiefly as Platner’s nomination and the coming matchup with Collins.

Right-leaning outlets give more weight to those controversies and, in some coverage, doubts or attacks about his prospects.
