The wife actually feels betrayed by the staffer because she revealed what could be used as opposition research to actually help her husband.

It feels too late in the primary to make support for Platner into a sexist issue. I can read a poll and know he is the likely winner of the primary and is the favorite to win the general election and understand the stakes and winning Maine is Democrats best path toward winning back the Senate.
