Maine Democratic Senate nominee Graham Platner said in a video statement Wednesday he was suspending his campaign, clearing the way for Democrats to select a new candidate to take on Republican Sen. Susan Collins in one of the most important contests of November’s midterm elections.
Platner faced Maine’s July 13 deadline for general election candidates to withdraw from the ballot. The state Democratic Party will now have two weeks to put forward a replacement candidate.
