From 31m agoGraham Platner looks to advance in Maine Senate race as four states hold primariesDavid SmithMaine voters are going to the polls for primary elections that include a crucial Senate race involving the scandal-haunted Graham Platner.The oysterman and Marine veteran’s string of controversies, ranging from alleged “toxic” behavior toward women to a tattoo recognized as a Nazi symbol, have plunged Democrats into debates about double standards, purity tests and not letting the perfect be the enemy of the good.There was a final twist came Monday, when Genevieve McDonald, a former political director of Platner’s campaign, published a column denouncing Platner as unfit for office.“Graham Platner is not someone who would be good for Maine or for the country,” McDonald wrote in the Washington Post. “He exhibits a pattern of dishonest behavior that is impossible to ignore.“Despite being exposed by a series of scandals beginning last October, he kept assuring voters and the Democratic Party that there were no more skeletons in his closet. Then more emerged – the latest, in recent days, have involved former girlfriends’ serious accusations of physical mistreatment.”Even so, all the signs on the ground are that most Democratic voters are sticking with Platner. At a campaign event on Sunday, a supporter presented him with a hand-drawn card that included the message “we’ve got your back”.Polls close in Maine at 8pm ET.Key events21m agoSouth Carolina, North Dakota and Nevada hold primary elections31m agoGraham Platner looks to advance in Maine Senate race as four states hold primariesDavid SmithBlue Hill, MaineThere are only a few hours until polls close but national figures continue to weigh in on Graham Platner and the Democratic primary race for US Senate in Maine.
