Maine Senate race: Platner weighs exit as poll eyes potential replacements
TL;DR Summary
Democratic Maine Senate nominee Graham Platner’s team quietly commissioned a flash poll to gauge the viability of potential replacements and to measure head-to-head matchups against Republican Sen. Susan Collins. The survey, conducted by Public Policy Polling for Platner, followed POLITICO’s report that a woman he dated said he forced her to have sex with him (which he denies). The poll signals mounting pressure on Platner and shows the campaign considering alternatives should he exit, testing against five Democratic replacements including former Senate President Troy Jackson and Secretary of State Shenna Bellows.
