Graham Platner, the Democratic candidate for Senate in Maine, stated that he is "considering the most appropriate path" for continuing his Senate race. He made the statement after Politico reported that a woman named Jenny Rasico, who had an on-and-off relationship with him for over two years, claimed that in late 2021 he entered her home uninvited while intoxicated and forced her to have sex despite her objections. Platner denied the allegations, calling them "disturbing, serious and false." He is considered a prominent critic of Israel, who called the war in Gaza "genocide" and called for limiting American aid.
