Graham Platton Withdraws from Maine Senate Race Amid Assault Allegations

Graham Platton Maine Senate withdrawal sexual assault allegations Democratic nominee

Democratic nominee Graham Platton officially withdrew from the U.S. Senate race in Maine after a former partner accused him of rape. He filed paperwork with the Secretary of State on July 10, 2026, and announced the decision in an 11‑minute video, citing the inability to fundraise and the damage to the broader progressive movement.

The Maine Democratic Party now faces a July 27 deadline to name a replacement, with a nominating convention scheduled for July 25. A coalition of voters and party officials has urged a more transparent process, while potential candidates such as former state Sen. Troy Jackson and former CDC official Nirav Shah have expressed interest. The scramble comes as the party seeks a new challenger to incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins, a race seen as pivotal for Senate control.
