Last update: 9 hours agoMaine Senate Shake-Up: Calls are mounting for Democratic nominee Graham Platner to drop out after new sexual-assault allegations, with the Maine Democratic Party accusing his team of trying to influence how a replacement is chosen and saying it has no role in picking the next nominee. Replacement Deadline Pressure: If Platner exits by July 13, Democrats can replace him on the ballot; party leaders say they won’t make the replacement process public until he officially steps down, even as supporters and contenders scramble.
