Graham Platner's bid for Maine Senate may be all but over, but it's likely other candidates will find themselves on a similar path in the future.

Graham Platner, the progressive Democrat running for Senate in Maine, has been accused of sexual assault and says he will weigh his options.

The Maine Democrat again denies misconduct but is considering “the path forward,” which could mean withdrawal in favor of a new nominee.

Platner is facing increasing pressure to drop out.
