Khanna and Gallego withdraw Platner endorsements

Rep. Ro Khanna and Sen. Ruben Gallego have withdrawn their endorsements of Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner. This decision follows a POLITICO report detailing sexual assault allegations against Platner. Khanna stated on X that violence against women is a red line and described the allegations as serious and credible. Consequently, Khanna called for Platner to drop out of the race, emphasizing that such claims are unacceptable for a candidate seeking public office in Maine.
