Maine's Democratic primary for a Senate seat Democrats hope to reclaim tests whether voters will back Graham Platner despite accusations of heavy drinking, physical intimidation, and a Nazi tattoo. The progressive oyster farmer and combat veteran has energized the party's left wing but divided Democrats amid a broader reckoning over political character and authenticity in the post-Trump era. Three women who dated Platner describe patterns of heavy drinking, infidelity, and physical intimidation including yanking her wrist, grabbing shoulders hard enough to leave marks, and pinning her arm behind her back during arguments.
