Ex Girlfriend Graham Platner Says He Removed Condoms Without Consent

Republicans tie battleground Democrats to Graham Platner

Maine Democratic Senate nominee Graham Platner suspended his campaign Wednesday evening, announcing the decision in an 11-minute video posted to social media in which he denied sexual assault allegations and blamed the political establishment for forcing him out.

Maine Democratic Senate nominee Graham Platner suspended his campaign Wednesday evening, announcing the decision in an 11-minute video posted to social media in which he denied sexual assault allegations and blamed the political establishment for forcing him out.

The allegations that triggered Platner's exit came from Jenny Racicot, 41, who told Politico that in late 2021 an intoxicated Platner entered her home uninvited and forced himself on her despite repeated objections. A second allegation, reported by The Washington Post, accused Platner of removing condoms during sex without consent on at least six occasions.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee said they would not invest in the Maine race if Platner remained on the ballot. Senators Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and Ruben Gallego all rescinded their endorsements following the latest allegations.

Platner's campaign had faced a series of earlier controversies, including deleted Reddit posts, a chest tattoo resembling a Nazi symbol he said he had covered up, and allegations from former partners of abusive behavior during past relationships.

Because Platner withdrew ahead of Maine's July 13 deadline, the state Democratic Party can replace him on the general election ballot. The party voted to hold a nominating convention and must submit a new nominee to the secretary of state by 5 p.m. on July 27.

Several Democrats have already declared interest in replacing Platner, including former state Sen. Troy Jackson, brewery owner Dan Kleban and Secretary of State Shenna Bellows. The new nominee will face five-term Republican incumbent Susan Collins in November.
