Senate Democratic leaders Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand call on Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner to immediately withdraw from the race after allegations reported Monday. In a joint statement released through the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, the two leaders say the allegations are “incredibly disturbing,” citing claims involving violence, abuse, and sexual assault, which they describe as unacceptable. The statement does not provide additional details about the allegations’ substance beyond that characterization. The leaders’ appeal is framed as a response to reporting they say occurred that day, and it asks Platner to step aside as the Democratic nominee. The New York Post and The Hill both report that the DSCC statement includes the same language and the same call for Platner to withdraw. No sources in the provided excerpts describe Platner’s response or indicate whether he has taken any action following the calls.
