Ruben Gallego, who has considered a 2028 presidential run, rescinded support for Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner after a rape allegation, similar to his previous withdrawal of support for Eric Swalwell's California gubernatorial campaign amid misconduct allegations. Platner and Swalwell denied the allegations, while Platner's former girlfriend Lyndsey Fifield criticized Gallego for not acting sooner.
