New Bernie Sanders-backed darling to replace Graham Platner has surprising conservative past

Maine Democrats are so desperate to replace accused rapist Graham Platner with another rugged “working-class hero” type that the left wing has thrown its support behind an Allagash logger – despite a past that’s anything but progressive. Platner formally withdrew from the race for US Senate Friday after Maine woman Jenny Racicot accused him of drunkenly raping her in 2021 — clearing the way for another contender to replace him on the ballot against Republican Susan Collins in the November midterms. The race is key to which party will control the Senate.
