Khanna says Platner’s exit left Maine Democrats scrambling as three contenders vie to challenge Susan Collins, with polling showing Democrats ahead by 11 points.

  • Rep. Ro Khanna expressed regret for endorsing Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner after sexual assault allegations surfaced against Platner in 2021 and led to his campaign withdrawal.
  • Khanna acknowledged he should have recognized warning signs earlier and emphasized the need for accountability and self-reflection in endorsements.
  • Several Democratic leaders and organizations initially supported Platner, but many withdrew support after allegations of sexual assault, emotional abuse, and controversial behavior emerged.
  • Khanna emphasized the importance of taking responsibility when errors in judgment occur and acted swiftly once allegations of sexual violence appeared.
