Platner’s Sex Scandal Rocks Maine Senate Campaign

Democrat Graham Platner’s Maine Senate campaign has hit a major obstacle with a sexting scandal, threatening Democrats’ efforts to regain control of the chamber.

On Saturday, the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal reported that Platner’s wife had previously flagged as a potential liability to campaign staff that she had learned her husband had sent sexually explicit text messages to multiple women early on in their marriage.

Platner has not denied having sent sexual messages but has questioned the motives of the press.

“These people are gonna try to make this race about anything but what it’s supposed to be about, which is policy,” Platner told reporters on Sunday.

 “Amy and I have a very loving and very happy marriage. They would very much like to try to rip that apart. They’re going to come after us in every awful way that they possibly can,” he added.

Platner is challenging Republican incumbent Sen. Susan Collins.
