"I expected that this would have happened sooner. Frankly, I understand that he wants to have some role in selecting the nominee. The head of the main Democratic party released a video last night where she basically said, 'No effing way.' Right?

Graham Platner, the Democratic nominee for Maine Senate who won his primary unopposed, is expected to drop out following credible rape allegations from Lindseay Field. Morris Katz, a lead strategist, was reportedly on the ground in Maine discussing his exit. The Maine Democratic Party chair publicly rejected Platner's attempts to influence the selection of his replacement, creating uncertainty about the path forward in a critical Senate race against Republican Susan Collins.
