Platner Drops Senate Race Amid Assault Allegations | US News
Description
Graham Platner has dropped out of the Maine Senate race after explosive sexual assault allegations surfaced — including claims of rape and non-consensual condom removal — prompting his campaign adviser to call it a “deep disappointment” and immediately advise him to suspend his run. Though Platner denies the accusations, his exit just days before a Democratic nominating convention to pick his replacement leaves the party scrambling. With six hundred delegates set to vote and Democrats needing to flip four Senate seats to regain control, the race to unseat GOP incumbent Susan Collins is now in flux — and the state’s 2024 non-Trump vote adds urgency to the search for a new candidate.
