Maine Democrats Running to Replace Platner as Senate Nominee Scramble to Woo His Voters

  • On Thursday, July 23, CNN and the Bangor Daily News will host a debate for Democrats vying to replace Graham Platner in Maine's U.S. Senate race against incumbent Republican Susan Collins.
  • Platner withdrew from the race last week following sexual misconduct allegations, compounding prior controversies including a Nazi-linked tattoo and offensive social media comments.
  • More than a dozen candidates are running to replace Platner, facing a Monday deadline to submit at least 500 signatures from registered Democrats, including at least 50 from no fewer than eight counties.
  • Two days after the debate, 601 delegates will gather at the Cross Insurance Center in Bangor on July 25 to select the party's new Senate nominee.
  • Maine is projected to see almost $400 million injected into the race on ad spending, the fourth-most across the U.S., as parties fight for control of the Senate.
