WASHINGTON — Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is standing by embattled Maine Democrat Graham Platner, even after a deluge of recent reports on the candidate’s racy text messages with other women while he was married. “I met with Graham Platner today. We’re going to beat Susan Collins and take back the Senate,” Schumer told reporters during a Tuesday new conference when asked about the candidate’s appearance in Washington, DC.
