As Calls Mount for Graham Platner to Drop Out of Senate Race, What Happens Next in Maine?
Maine’s Democratic Senate nominee Graham Platner has yet to drop out of the race despite losing all major endorsements after a rape allegation by an ex-girlfriend, Jenny Racicot, who says Platner assaulted her in 2021. Platner has denied the claim. “There’s no way to force Platner off the ballot; he has to make the decision,” says Amy Fried, professor emerita of political science at the University of Maine. Platner would have to drop out of the race by Monday, “and then there’s two weeks for the Maine Democratic Party to pick someone else.” Fried discusses potential Democratic candidates to replace Platner and the legacy of Republican Maine Senator Susan Collins, against whom they would be running in November.
