Frankly, I see problems with the DSCC as not unique to when Peters ran it.

There were problems with the DSCC even back in 2020 when it chose to endorse Sara Gideon's Senate campaign against Senator Susan Collins back in June 2019, months before the primary race was even held. According to Nathan Bernard, a reporter at the worker-owned magazine Mainer (when he was interviewed by CBS News), the DSCC's endorsement of Gideon's campaign killed her chances of unseating Susan Collins.

The DSCC can make plenty of errors. The way to deal with this is to be smart in when the right time to make the investment for a particular campaign. I'd prefer the primary process be dealt with where the Senate candidates themselves run their own campaigns and the DSCC comes in later, not earlier.

All states are different; you have to adjust the strategy depending on the state being analyzed
