Summary
Jordan Wood said he does not want Graham Platner’s endorsement in Maine’s U.S. Senate race, becoming the only one of seven prospective replacement candidates to answer the question.
Platner and his supporters have been trying to shape who succeeds him, but that effort appears to be faltering as Democrats keep their distance.
The reluctance comes as Platner faces scrutiny over a sexual assault allegation, turning his backing into a political liability for would-be substitutes.
