The Washington Reporter wrote in a post on X that a “well-placed source” informed the outlet that Platner would be dropping out of the Maine Senate race.
"Maine Democrat Senate candidate Graham Platner is facing allegations that he broke into a woman’s house and sexually assaulted her, according to a recent report.
Jenny Racicot, 41, told Politico that while she and Platner had been involved in an “on-and-off relationship,” in 2021 he allegedly “entered her rural Maine home uninvited one night” while intoxicated. Platner allegedly “forced himself on her while she repeatedly told him to stop.”
“I remember him grabbing my pelvis and being really forceful of me,” Racicot explained to the outlet. “I remember the specific moment where I thought to myself, like, ‘This is no longer my choice.'”
"Breitbart News reported in June that several women, including Lyndsey Fifield, and Racicot spoke to the New York Times about their past relationships with Platner.
"While Fifield told the outlet that Platner “could be rough with her” and described an instance in which they were in an argument and “he twisted her arm behind her back, shoved her into a bedroom and held the door closed from the other side,” she said he “never hit” her.
"The outlet said that according to Racicot, “In 2021 he arrived at her house drunk, after she had asked him not to come over.” Racicot also told the outlet that she found his behavior to be “reckless” and “unsettling.” . . . More..

. . . "Platner has not denied the texts or the profile, describing the stories as 'gossip' and he and his wife have reaffirmed 'a very happy marriage.'
"Some Democrats, notably, have soured on him. Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman told CNN: 'What kind of a creep has been on a platform like Kik, sending a dozen explicit messages - and who knows what else.'
"Vermont's Bernie Sanders and Massachusetts' Elizabeth Warren have backed Platner despite all of his scandals. [If Bernie liked Stalin, he should love the Platster]
"Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer told reporters last month that he met with Platner during the candidate's visit to DC, adding, 'we're going to beat Susan Collins and take back the Senate.'
"Collins, the only Republican in the race, holds an independent streak that makes her both loved and feared.
"She also represents an endangered species: a Republican who represents a state traditionally carried by the Democratic presidential nominee."
