Graham Platner Meets Senate Democrats in D.C. as $90 Million Maine Race Buckles Under Scandals
3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jun 2
Tuesday’s Washington meeting puts Maine Senate hopeful Graham Platner directly before Senate Democrats as his candidacy becomes harder for the party to manage.
Adam Schiff said he would wait for more facts before weighing in on allegations involving Platner texting other women, while Angela Alsobrooks said she was backing Democrats broadly, not Platner personally.
The scrutiny has widened from a Nazi-linked totenkopf tattoo video to resurfaced Reddit posts, a sexting scandal and a reported profile on the Kik platform.
Bernie Sanders, Platner’s strongest Senate ally, argued the attacks reflect his anti-billionaire politics and pointed to $90 million in outside spending pledged in Maine, while Republicans used the turmoil to defend Susan Collins.
