Maine’s Democratic Party is demanding that its own U.S. Senate nominee exit the race after a woman accused him of sexual assault, the party announced Monday.
In an official statement, the party said that several women have recently made serious accusations against Graham Platner, and that the latest allegations go even further than those previously reported.
“Over the past several weeks, multiple women have made serious, credible allegations against Graham Platner. Today’s statements take those allegations even further,” the party stated.
Party leadership made its position clear: “Maine Democratic Party leadership is calling on Graham Platner to withdraw as the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate.”
