The allegations reported today are deeply disturbing. Character and accountability matter regardless of party. It’s time for Graham Platner to drop out and allow for someone else to be nominated and give Democrats the best chance to win this seat in November.
🚨A well-placed source told us that Graham Platner is dropping out of the Maine Senate race this week.
Note that Platner has yet to release his Q2 fundraising totals, a sign he may have underperformed expectations.
Lots of rumors are going around that a major scandal involving Maine Democratic U.S. Senate nominee Graham Platner is about to break, which could lead to him dropping out of the race. Platner has also canceled an upcoming campaign event for no clear reason.
Under Maine law, Democrats can replace him if he withdraws by July 13.
People are traveling, gathering together, barbecuing, celebrating the 250th anniversary of this nation in various ways. And then we have this…
An American service member using his right to free speech, guaranteed in our nation’s constitution. A right given to all of us every day. Regardless of your political affiliation, read or watch Major Jason Watson’s full statement. It’s powerful. He has served and is serving. He is speaking up and out, and for that he was arrested.
Free speech, freedom of religion, a free press, the freedom to vote for who you choose, the freedom to love who you choose. These are all things we celebrate on our nation’s birthday. They are what makes us a democracy, among many other things. So as you gather, as you grill, as you plan your day, think of Major Watson, think of the freedoms you hold dear, and don’t just celebrate them, but make sure generations to come will have these rights as well! 🇺🇸
