Graham Platner drops out of Maine Senate race

We are now learning that Graham Platner, the Democratic Senate nominee in Maine, suspended his campaign on Wednesday. This comes amid growing calls from top Democrats across the country for him to quit the race. Platner's exit from the race comes five days before a crucial deadline, which, if he had missed, would have prevented Maine Democrats from replacing him with a new nominee on the general election ballot. Platner has previously called the allegations against him "false" after a Politico story was published detailing allegations against him.
