Maine Democratic Senate nominee Graham Platner faced mounting pressure after a woman accused him of sexual assault, prompting top Democrats to call for his withdrawal. According to the New York Post, Platner postponed several town-hall meetings as the deadline to replace him on the ballot approached. NBC News reported that Platner denied the allegation and said he would reflect on the best way forward for his campaign, while some high-profile supporters withdrew their endorsements.
The New York Times conveyed that party leaders and elected officials urged Platner to quit the race, with the candidate calling the claims false. CBS News added that among those urging his exit was Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.
