Maine Senate Race in Chaos | San Antonio News

Maine’s Democratic Senate hopeful Graham Platner is facing a major scandal after a sexual assault allegation from a former partner — a blow that threatens his campaign and could derail Democrats’ slim hopes of flipping the Senate. With Republicans holding a narrow majority and Maine a must-win, Platner’s fate could reshape the entire race. If he withdraws by July 13, Democrats can replace him — but staying on the ballot might mean running without party support. Meanwhile, Democrats are juggling high-stakes races in North Carolina, Ohio, Iowa, and Texas, while tight contests in Georgia and Michigan add more pressure. The Senate battle is already brutal — and this latest twist just made it messier. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
