Platner

Maine law said the party can replace him. The party can choose how to do that. I like the fact that they don’t want the 100 or so delegates to choose but want to open it up. Platner’s option is more or less identical to the Kamala situation you were saying you wanted to avoid a few posts back (candidate elected in non-competitive primary picks his successor instead of letting the voters decide in some abbreviated process)

Bernie:
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont), a key backer of Graham Platner’s insurgent Senate campaign in Maine, said Tuesday that Platner should step aside following an accusation of sexual assault.
“I have spoken with Graham Platner about the best path forward for Maine,” Sanders said in a statement. “In light of these very serious allegations, I have recommended that he step aside.”Liz:
“With so much at stake, the best path forward is for Graham Platner to step aside as the Democratic nominee and address these serious allegations outside this Senate race,” said Senator Elizabeth Warren, who had campaigned with Mr. Platner and championed his bid.
