From NBC:

In a recent interview in Maine, before she dropped out of the primary, NBC News asked Mills whether she would endorse Platner in the general election if he won the Democratic nomination.

"I’ve always been a Democrat," Mills said. "I’ve always supported the Democratic candidate."


When she suspended her campaign, Platner became the presumptive nominee, and still is.
