Democrats Abandon Senate Candidate Graham Platner After Rape Allegation Surfaces

What was said

"A woman who dated Maine US candidate Graham Platner says he forced her to have sex with him nearly 5 years ago despite her repeated objections. I remember specifically him like grabbing at my chest and I like hit his hand and I said, Don't touch me. Here's a man who was drunk and who by dictionary definition raped me."

Graham Platner, Maine Democratic Senate candidate, faces rape allegations from a woman he dated five years ago, detailed in a Politico report. Democrats who previously supported Platner despite his Nazi tattoo and domestic violence accusations are now calling for him to drop out, with the deadline to replace him on the ballot just one week away. Critics argue the timing is strategic, as recent polls show Susan Collins leading by three points.
