Summary
Maine’s Senate race is exploding as Democratic candidate Graham Platner faces a firestorm over allegations of abuse, a Nazi-style tattoo, and explicit messages to women while married. While Platner denies everything, mounting pressure is fracturing the Democratic Party — from allies like Ro Khanna to former accuser Cheyenne Hunt calling for women not to be sacrificed for politics. With Susan Collins looming as the GOP opponent and Governor Janet Mills still on the ballot, some Dems are urging voters to consider alternatives. Platner remains in the race, but Democrats still have time to replace him before mid-July. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
