Schumer Meets With Platner as Democrats Weigh Maine Fallout
Schumer reaffirmed his support as Democrats weigh whether Platner’s scandals could jeopardize their chance to flip a key Senate seat.
- On Tuesday, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer met with Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner on Capitol Hill, repeatedly sidestepping questions about the candidate's recent sexting scandal while emphasizing the party's goal to defeat Senator Susan Collins.
- Reports from The Wall Street Journal and New York Times revealed Platner sent sexually explicit messages to six women in 2024, compounding earlier controversies over offensive social media comments and a now-covered Nazi-linked tattoo.
- Sen. Cory Booker said he has "concerns" about Platner, while Sen. John Fetterman compared the scandal to former California Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell. Protesters chanted outside Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee headquarters during the meeting.
- Republican National Committee spokesperson Kristen Cianci called Platner "morally bankrupt" in a Tuesday statement, arguing that Democratic leaders' continued support shows how far they will go to advance their agenda.
- Gov. Janet Mills remains on the ballot for the June 9 primary despite suspending her campaign; Maine law allows Democrats to replace Platner as the nominee before the July 13 deadline.
