Mayor Zohran Mamdani on Tuesday said Graham Platner should drop his bid for a Maine US Senate seat after a bombshell rape accusation against the scandal-scarred candidate. “I believe that it’s time for him to drop out of the race,” said Mamdani — who shares a key progressive strategist, Morris Katz, with Platner. “I think the focus of today should be to respond to the gravity of what so many of us have read and I think the only appropriate response is for the campaign to come to an end,” he told reporters in City Hall.
