Ro Khanna says he regrets endorsing Graham Platner in Maine Senate race
Khanna says Platner’s exit and a rape allegation forced Democrats to reassess the race as the party prepares to pick a replacement.
- Following Graham Platner's exit from the Maine Senate race, a Democrat expressed regret over the endorsement, drawing criticism in conservative outlets and sparking debate over party leadership.
- Observers noted that Platner's recent departure left many discombobulated, as media coverage emphasized perceived party dysfunction rather than favorable underlying electoral conditions.
- New NYT and Siena polling shows Democrats hold an 11-point lead while Trump faces 38 percent approval; Troy Jackson, Shenna Bellows, and Nariv Shah are positioned as leading contenders to replace Platner.
