Maine Democrats Race to Replace Platner | Global News
Description
Maine’s Democratic Senate race just flipped on its head after nominee Graham Platner dropped out amid a sexual assault allegation he denies—forcing the party to scramble to find a replacement before July 27. With Maine a key swing state and incumbent Susan Collins a seasoned veteran, the Democrats face a steep climb. The party’s convention will pick a new candidate from a crowded field including Troy Jackson (backed by Our Revolution), Nirav Shah (former CDC director), Dan Kleban (Maine Beer co-founder), and Secretary of State Shenna Bellows—who’s battled Collins before. Others like Jordan Wood, Paige Loud, Valli Geiger, and David Costello are also in the mix. The clock is ticking—and the stakes couldn’t be higher.
