Democrats Accuse Graham Platner of Trying to Put 'Thumb on the Scale' of Process to Replace Him The Democratic nomination for US Senate in Maine has reached a boiling point as party leaders call on Graham Platner to withdraw from the race amid allegations of sexual assault.

At issue is not just Platner's fitness for office but also the broader implications for the Maine Democratic Party.
