The Republican Party is planning to spend $8 million in negative ads on whoever the Democrats decide should replace embattled Senate candidate Graham Platner should he end up dropping out of Maine's Senate race.
Platner, 41, has faced growing calls to drop out of the race after Jenny Racicot, a woman he had dated, said that he entered her home uninvited in 2021 and sexually assaulted her. Platner has denied the allegation, calling it politically motivated.
