Platner Faces Sexual Assault Allegation | San Antonio News

Platner denies the claims outright, calling them “categorically false,” and has canceled campaign events while weighing his next steps. With Maine law allowing the party to replace a withdrawn nominee by July 27th, the future of his candidacy hangs in the balance — and major supporters like Bernie Sanders and Ro Khanna remain silent, adding to the mounting uncertainty as the political and legal fallout unfolds.
