Summary
Maine Democrats are moving quickly to replace Graham Platner as their U.S. Senate nominee after he announced he was withdrawing from the race following a sexual assault allegation, which he denies. Because the withdrawal came after the primary, the party cannot simply award the nomination to the runner-up. Instead, the Maine Democratic Party is expected to select a new nominee through a party convention before the state's late-July ballot deadline.
