Fetterman criticizes Democrats' support for Graham Platner
Fetterman on Platner: Maine Senate scandal exposes troubling conduct and backlash See why Democrats keep backing him as the Maine race turns more volatile
Sen. John Fetterman said he will not back Maine Democratic Senate hopeful Graham Platner amid a series of scandals surrounding the candidate.
Fetterman compared Democrats' continued support for Platner to their past defense of former Rep. Eric Swalwell, arguing that Platner’s conduct and messages to women are disqualifying.
The article says Platner has faced criticism over a Nazilinked tattoo, deleted Reddit posts, explicit texts, and an account on the Kik messaging platform. Despite the controversy, many Democrats are still supporting him as the party tries to compete for a key Senate seat in Maine.
