Summary
Army veteran Platner admitted to struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder and alcohol abuse, but always rejected accusations of intimidation or physical assault. A 41-year-old former acquaintance told the portal “Politico” that Platner had gained access to her house about five years ago and had sex with her against her will. Already his election campaign for the pre-election had been overshadowed by accusations of former partners.
Furthermore, Because of the current slim majority of Republicans in both chambers of parliament, each individual mandate could decide who ultimately has the power in Congress – and whether the Democrats can prevent key political projects of President Donald Trump in the future. In November, around a third of the Senate and the entire House of Representatives will be re-elected. Platner had previously been in the headlines because of his dealings with women.
