Mamdani calls on Platner to drop out of Maine Senate race

New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani has joined other Democratic lawmakers in calling for Graham Platner to drop out of the Maine Senate race. This demand follows allegations of sexual assault made by a woman who dated Platner in 2021. While Mamdani himself never provided an endorsement, several of his top aides have been heavily involved in the progressive candidate's campaign. The situation highlights shifting political dynamics and candidate strategies resulting from these serious allegations.
