Israel looms large as Maine heads to the polls in Graham Platner’s Senate primary

Incumbent senator Susan Collins remains safely at the top of the Republican ticket – just slightly behind newcomer Platner’s lead in polling.

Susan Collins (R) accused her Democratic opponent on the day of the state’s Senate primary race of shying away from addressing accusations about his alleged past conduct toward women.

The poll comes as his campaign faces mounting scrutiny amid allegations from some of his former romantic partners, reported by The New York Times.

Four states are set to hold their primary votes, further solidifying the battle lines for the United States midterm elections in November.
