Maine Senate Democratic candidate Graham Platner is pushing back against recent reports about his personal life, calling the coverage by major national outlets “journalistic malpractice.” In an interview with WMTV, Platner addressed allegations that he had sent inappropriate messages to multiple women. The claims came from stories published by The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal.
According to Mediaite, The Wall Street Journal’s reporting relied on anonymous sources, stating that Platner’s wife, Amy Gertner, disclosed the existence of these messages to a campaign aide in late August 2025.
