Abandoned by Allies, Graham Platner Faces Pressure to End Maine Senate Campaign

Graham Platner, the Democratic primary winner in Maine's U.S. Senate race against Republican incumbent Susan Collins, faced mounting calls to withdraw from the general election after a woman accused him of sexual assault in 2021. Democratic allies and party figures withdrew support Tuesday, citing the allegation and earlier controversy over a Nazi tattoo; a Monday deadline loomed for replacing him on the November ballot.
