Texas Democrats, including those from the San Antonio area, are pulling their support from a progressive candidate. Graham Platner, who is running for a U.S. Senate seat in Maine, has been accused of sexual assault.

The allegations against Platner were made public in a report by Politico. The report describes an encounter from years ago in which Platner allegedly engaged in inappropriate behavior with a woman he was dating.

Further details about the allegations and the response from Texas Democrats are available from the San Antonio Current. Local representatives such as Talarico and Casar are among those distancing themselves from Platner's campaign.
