Platner Scandals Rock Maine Senate Race

Platner Scandals Rock Maine Senate Race

Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner is facing a fresh wave of allegations regarding abusive behavior, including claims of rape fantasies and a Nazi-linked tattoo.

These scandals have drawn bipartisan criticism and raised questions about his suitability for public office.

Despite the controversies, Platner is statistically tied with Susan Collins in a new Maine Senate poll.

His former campaign director has stated that Platner 'shouldn't be a US senator,' and his allies are defending him, saying 'there are no saints.' Democrats, including Chuck Schumer, are in an awkward position, with some praying for a miracle alternative to Platner.
