A U.S. Senate candidate in Maine is pushing back against allegations of physical aggression toward former romantic partners, claiming the recent negative coverage demonstrates his campaign’s growing strength.
Graham Platner is rejecting the accusations detailed in The New York Times report, stating that this controversy and others surrounding his candidacy indicate his campaign is gaining traction. The Democratic candidate is expected to challenge incumbent Sen. Susan Collins in the general election for Maine’s Senate seat.
The allegations come as Platner continues his bid for the Democratic nomination in the Maine Senate race, where he has positioned himself as the likely nominee to face the Republican incumbent in November.
