Top Democrats called on scandal-hit US Senate candidate Graham Platner to quit the race on Monday after a sexual assault allegation threatened to derail one of the party's best chances of flipping a Republican-held seat.
Politico reported that Jenny Racicot, a 41-year-old Maine resident who previously dated Platner - whose insurgent rise has drawn comparisons to President Donald Trump - accused him of forcing her to have sex in late 2021.
