Summary
Platner won the Democratic primary on June 9 with more than 70% support. Any accusation of non-consensual behavior is categorically untrue,” Platner said in the statement. But Platner’s campaign said that wouldn’t happen. “For a year, opponents of this campaign have thrown everything they can at Graham –– calling him a Nazi, a war criminal, and a communist.
Furthermore, Graham began this campaign to fight for a Maine where everyone is treated with dignity and where Mainers are put first, and no amount of desperate smears will stop this movement from seeing that vision through," the statement said. None of it has been true and this is no different. If Platner were to drop out of the Senate race, the state Democratic Party committee would then have until July 27 to replace him.
In addition, "Today we are calling on Platner to drop out and remove himself from the ballot — which he must do by July 13 — in order to give the party an opportunity to put forth a candidate who is qualified and best positioned to win in November," she said in a statement. Platner canceled a string of campaign events in recent days, the Bangor Daily News reported . In the immediate wake of the story, Platner’s most important national Democratic backers were silent — including Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts.
Moreover, Despite the denials, Platner said in a video that he is taking “time to reflect on the best path forward” with his candidacy.
