Graham Platner to hold Maine rally with Rep. Ro Khanna as scandals shake up campaign

Graham Platner, the insurgent Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate in Maine, will hold his first major rally Friday night in Bar Harbor with Rep. Ro Khanna, as scrutiny over past conduct intensifies. Reports over the weekend described sexually explicit messages Platner sent to several women during his marriage, and The New York Times followed with details about prior relationships. One allegation described arm-twisting; Platner has denied wrongdoing. Despite the controversy, key Democratic supporters, including Sens. Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and Ruben Gallego, continue backing him ahead of the June 9 primary. Platner has faced disclosures about a Nazi-symbol tattoo and inflammatory online comments.
