Rep. Ro Khanna and Sen. Ruben Gallego withdraw their endorsements of Maine Senate nominee Graham Platner after a woman who dated him makes a sexual assault allegation in an interview with Politico. Multiple outlets report that the accusation centers on conduct described by the woman, including claims that Platner entered her home and assaulted her. Platner denies the allegation. Following the report, Khanna publicly calls on Platner to drop out of the Maine Senate race. Gallego also withdraws his endorsement, according to coverage citing the same underlying allegation. CBS News also notes that at least two Democrats take the step to pull support for Platner, while he disputes the claims. Other reported details include the way the endorsements and calls to withdraw unfold across party circles after the allegations receive public attention. Coverage characterizes the response as a political shift tied directly to the allegation and the lack of agreement on its validity. Across sources, the central points are the withdrawal of endorsements by Khanna and Gallego and Platner’s denial of the accusations.
