Maine Democratic Senate nominee Graham Platner has denied allegations of sexual assault after a woman accused him of assaulting her in 2021, but the controversy has thrown his campaign into turmoil. In a video statement, Platner called the allegations "serious and false" and insisted that any accusation of non-consensual behavior is "categorically false." At the same time, he announced he is taking time to "reflect on the best path forward" for his campaign as pressure mounts from within his own party. The allegations have sparked calls from prominent Democrats for Platner to withdraw from the race against Republican Senator Susan Collins. Watch the latest developments, Platner's full response, and the growing political fallout.
