Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner remains on track for Maine’s upcoming primary, despite a series of allegations reported by multiple outlets in recent days. CBS News and The New York Times report that Platner faces renewed accusations from women who say they previously dated or had relationships with him, including claims about disturbing behavior. Platner denies the allegations and continues to campaign, including responding publicly to criticism while portraying himself as supported by Maine voters.

Across the Democratic Party, some congressional Democrats express concern or wariness about the latest allegations, while many still plan to vote for or otherwise back Platner in the primary. Support among voters appears mixed but not decisive: The Washington Post and CBS News describe some voters expressing dismay while indicating they are still likely to support Platner.

The Hill reports that a key procedural deadline could affect whether Platner is replaced on the ballot if he withdraws. According to The Hill, July 13 is the deadline for Platner to withdraw and have a replacement appear on the November ballot. If Platner wins the primary, the race would set up a contest against Republican Sen. Susan Collins.
