Platner-Collins

Rumors about a big new scandal and Platner just cancelled an appearance. (See tweet)
Interesting.
Apparently he has another week to drop out and have the Maine Dems pick a new candidate.
And in case you’re thinking ‘Janet Mills??’, apparently there were lots of decent potential candidates but none wanted to challenge Collins, at least not when the path to the governor’s office seemed easier. It seems they could pick whomever came in second in that primary and run them instead of Platner. (Assuming there is some massive new scandal causing him to drop out)

Racicot said she had an on-and-off relationship with Platner, who is now the Democratic Senate nominee in Maine, for more than two years before he entered her rural Maine home uninvited one night in late 2021, deeply intoxicated, and forced himself on her while she repeatedly told him to stop. She said she cut off contact with him after telling him the encounter was not consensual.
“I remember him grabbing my pelvis and being really forceful of me,” she said. “I remember the specific moment where I thought to myself, like, ‘This is no longer my choice.’” -
@Rontuner Yep, those are positives if you’re a Republican.
