In Maine, Senate candidate Graham Platner said he was weighing his campaign's future after a woman accused him of sexual assault, an allegation he denied. The dispute involves Platner, his campaign, Democratic Party officials and voters in the Maine Senate race.

Continuing the bid would preserve the campaign's path despite the denial, while pausing or ending it would prioritize institutional accountability before the allegation is resolved. Platner said he would take time to reflect on the best path forward.
