Embattled Senate candidate Graham Platner is facing mounting pressure to exit the Maine Senate race quickly after being hit with a series of explosive reports this week, including being accused of sexual assault.

It has been two days since Platner denied the allegation of rape, but he said in a video he was taking the time to “reflect on the best path forward” in the race against Republican Susan Collins.

Since then, calls for him to withdraw from the race have intensified, but the Democratic nominee has remained silent.

He canceled events, claiming to be sick, leading up to the bombshell Politico report on the alleged sexual assault.
