Summary
On Gavin Newsom’s 95-minute podcast Friday, Hunter Biden said he was “99.9% certain” Maine Democratic Senate nominee Graham Platner is “no Nazi” and not racist, misogynistic or antisemitic.
Biden dismissed scrutiny over Platner’s leaked sexually explicit messages as consensual and argued few politicians would survive if their phones and iCloud accounts were fully exposed.
Platner won Maine’s Democratic Senate primary Tuesday and now faces Republican Sen. Susan Collins in November, with the controversy landing just as the general-election race begins.
The candidate has said he got the skull-and-crossbones tattoo more than a decade ago during a drunken night in Croatia, later learned it resembled the SS Totenkopf symbol, and altered it in October 2025.
