Platner holdout floats emergency lifeline for panicking Dems if scandal-plagued candidate wins

Rep. Josh Gottheimer, a Jewish Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, urged Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner to exit the race due to his controversies, including a Nazi tattoo and pro-Hamas comments. Gottheimer suggested Platner should step down if he wins the primary to allow a more 'qualified' Democrat to replace him, as Platner is currently the frontrunner against a suspended Governor Janet Mills.
