Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner faces additional allegations ahead of Tuesday’s Maine primary, where he is widely seen as the presumptive nominee who would go on to face Sen. Susan Collins if he wins. The New York Times reports that some women who previously dated Platner describe having seen disturbing behavior, and Platner denies the allegations.

Across coverage, Democrats and voters show a split reaction. Some congressional Democrats express concern or wariness after the latest reports, while many still plan to back Platner and his campaign. Several outlets describe an uneasy support base: some voters express dismay at the revelations but say they do not plan to change their vote, while others voice doubts about whether they can support him.

Platner continues campaigning amid the scrutiny, and Collins has characterized the new allegations as troubling. Other reporting also points to a longer list of controversies surrounding Platner, including offensive posts from earlier years that have contributed to the heightened attention in the final days before polls open. Overall, the race is portrayed as close in sentiment even as party support largely remains for his nomination.
