  • The DNC has no real power to tell state parties what to do in a situation like this. In point of fact, their members are largely chosen by the state parties.

  • Per the NYT

    Graham Platner can be replaced as the Democratic nominee for Senate in Maine if he withdraws from the race by next Monday, and state law would then give the state Democratic Party until July 27 to name a replacement.

  • It's possible to replace him if he drops out of the race in the next few days. I suspect a decent replacement would stand a better chance at winning the election.

  • Calls Mount for Platner to End Campaign After Rape Accusation

    Jump

  • It's not just the press. A ton of people who previously endorsed him have rescinded their endorsement. And Democrats have a few days to replace him on the ticket if he bows out of the race now.

    The standard for electing somebody who does not yet hold power should rightly be a different one from that needed to send someone to prison.

    Failing to replace him at this point is a recipe for a Collins win.
