A pseudo Senate primary has formed in Maine as Democrats wait on Graham Platner to potentially end his campaign in the face of an allegation of sexual assault.
Platner, the Democratic nominee to challenge Republican Sen. Susan Collins this fall, has denied the accusation but said Monday that he was reassessing the future of his campaign. His top supporters have rescinded their endorsements and called on him to drop out of the race, while national Democratic groups have said they would not invest in the Maine race if Platner remains the nominee.
