Graham Platner has suspended his campaign for U.S. Senate in Maine after a former girlfriend accused him of forcing himself on her in late 2021. Platner has denied the allegation.
Replacement Candidates Emerge
With Platner’s exit, Democrats are scrambling to find a new candidate. A mix of potential candidates has already emerged, including former Maine Senate President Troy Jackson, local brewery owner Dan Kleban, and Maine’s former CDC director and gubernatorial candidate Nirav Shah.
Democrats plan to hold a nominating convention with hundreds of delegates from across the state to determine Platner’s replacement.
