Maine U.S. Senate Democratic nominee Graham Platner said Monday he is “taking the time to reflect on the best path forward” for his candidacy minutes after POLITICO reported that a woman who dated him said he forced her to have sex with him.
Platner denied the allegation, but he said in a roughly two-minute video posted to social media on Monday that he is “mindful of the political reality” the reporting “will inflict.”
“Regardless of the inaccuracy of the reporting, but mindful of the political reality it will inflict, we are taking the time to reflect on the best path forward,” Platner said.
