Maine's Democratic Senate Hopeful Faces a Crisis of Trust Graham Platner, Maine's Democratic Senate candidate, has been at the center of controversy after allegations emerged that he forced his former girlfriend into having sex without her consent five years ago.
Platner denies the claims, calling them "categorically false," and suggests they are part of a coordinated smear campaign by out of state operatives.
The allegations have been corroborated by multiple sources, including the New York Times and Politico, and raise questions about Platner's character and judgment.
