Graham Platner formally withdraws from Maine Senate race after rape allegations, signs off with ‘Free Palestine’

Dan Pfeiffer, host of “Pod Save America,” beat himself up over his prior faith in Graham Platner after the Maine Democratic candidate for Senate suspended his campaign following a bombshell report by Politico alleging he had sexually assaulted an ex-girlfriend.

Right now, Democrats have one last opportunity to seize victory from the jaws of potential defeat, and it’s critical they take it.

Platner's campaign posted a copy of the letter it sent to Maine's Secretary of State withdrawing from the race to X on Friday afternoon.

In a letter shared on social media outlining the populist ideals that underlined his meteoric rise to the national political stage and drew widespread support in the state, Platner called for the movement built under his name to continue.
