Platner should drop out of Maine's US Senate race after sexual assault allegation, Sanders says

Sen. Bernie Sanders urged Maine Democratic Senate nominee Graham Platner to step aside following a sexual assault allegation from a former romantic partner. Platner denies the claim, which involves an incident in 2021 where he allegedly entered a woman's home while drunk and assaulted her. Supporters are divided, with some expressing heartbreak and others urging him to remain in the race against Republican Sen. Susan Collins.
