Platner’s three-day vetting job comes back to haunt Dems as rape allegation rocks Senate bid

Democratic operatives paid $6,250 for a rushed three-day background check on Graham Platner, which failed to uncover a Nazi tattoo, Reddit posts, and rape allegations. These revelations have severely impacted the Maine Senate race, leading prominent press allies to abandon the candidate. Following the emergence of the rape allegation, these media figures have called for Platner to suspend his campaign, as the inadequate vetting process continues to haunt the Democratic bid.
