A succession fight is underway in the Maine U.S. Senate race. This comes after an allegation of sexual assault was made against Democratic nominee Graham Platner. Despite calls for him to drop out, Platner has not resigned from the race.
The allegation has prompted a response from Platner's long-time backer, who has recommended that he step aside. Platner has denied the allegations but has not indicated whether he will leave the race. The Maine Democratic Party is responsible for creating a process to pick his replacement if he were to step down.
Further details on the situation are available from KSAT 12's source. The outcome of the race could have implications for party control of the Senate, but for now, Platner's status in the race remains unclear.
