The latest developments in the Graham Platner scandal have led to a series of high-profile endorsements being withdrawn.
Democrat Senator Ruben Gallego and Democrat Rep Ro Khanna have both rescinded their support for Platner, a Democrat Senate candidate, following the emergence of new, serious allegations against him.
Gallego stated that he has been clear that sexual assault or violence against women is a "red line," and the allegations against Platner are "very serious and credible." He believes that Platner should drop out of the race.
Khanna also expressed his concern, saying that the allegations are "troubling and deeply serious." He has rescinded his endorsement of Platner.
The Maine Democrat Party has also weighed in, calling on Platner to withdraw as the Democratic nominee for US Senate. They made their stance clear in a public statement.
A woman who dated Platner has come forward with allegations of rape, stating that he was forceful and non-consensual in their interactions. Platner has denied the allegations, calling them "troubling, serious, and false."
