Rep. Ro Khanna withdraws his endorsement of Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner after allegations of sexual assault. Multiple outlets report that Khanna, one of Platner’s prominent congressional supporters, calls on Platner to end his campaign. The move follows a POLITICO report describing an allegation of sexual assault against Platner. Fox News similarly describes Khanna rescinding his endorsement and urging Platner to drop out, framing the decision as a response to a newly surfaced rape allegation. The New York Post also reports that Khanna, a major backer, urges Platner to withdraw from the race after the allegation is made public. While the reports recount Khanna’s actions and the existence of the allegation, they do not provide additional confirmed details about the claims within the excerpts provided. The coverage centers on changes in political support and the call for Platner to exit the race following the allegation’s emergence.
