Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner is facing allegations of unsettling and in at least one case physically threatening behavior toward women he dated, according to a report published Thursday by The New York Times. The report, which is based on interviews with six women who previously dated Platner, comes amid intensified scrutiny of his candidacy and raises new questions about the viability of a candidate who has become his party’s presumptive nominee against Republican Sen. Susan Collins. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/04/us/politics/platner-maine-senate-girlfriends-relationships.html
