## Resource

Maine’s Senate race is in chaos as Graham Platner’s alleged withdrawal isn’t officially on record—no signed paperwork, no dice. With a July 13 deadline looming, Democrats scramble to find a replacement before the ballot locks, while Platner’s exit follows a sexual assault accusation he denies. Names like Nirav Shah and Jordan Wood are already circling, and the party’s convention looms as the last hope to salvage their Senate bid before midterms.
