Platner holdout floats emergency lifeline for panicking Dems if scandal-plagued candidate wins
Rep. Josh Gottheimer, a House Intelligence Committee member, urged Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner to exit the race, criticizing his Nazi tattoo, pro-Hamas comments, and other controversies. Gottheimer suggested Platner step down if he wins the primary to allow another Democrat to replace him, as Platner is currently the frontrunner against suspended gubernatorial candidate Janet Mills.
