Platner Under Fire as Campaign Crumbles | US News
Description
Maine Democrat Senate nominee Graham Platner is in freefall after explosive sexual assault allegations from a former girlfriend triggered a political earthquake—his campaign has frozen ads, canceled fundraisers, and is under fire from top Democrats like Schumer and Gillibrand, who demand he step aside. With the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee refusing to fund his race and donors fleeing, Platner denies the claims but admits he’s weighing his future. The Maine Democratic Party stands firmly with survivors, and a replacement must be chosen by July 13th at 5 PM—or risk losing the seat critical to flipping the Senate. Names like Troy Jackson and Shenna Bellows are already in the mix as the party scrambles to salvage the race.
