Maine Democrat Senate candidate Graham Platner abruptly canceled multiple town hall events as new damaging information is about to be released.

Platner, the scandal-plagued Democrat with a Nazi tattoo, may drop out of the Senate race.

Per The Maine Wire:

Augusta town hall for last night – CANCELED

Gorham town hall tonight – CANCELED

Sanford town hall tonight – CANCELED

Platner went into hiding last month as one scandal after another continued to rock his campaign.

As Platner was hiding from the press, The New York Times dropped a nasty hit piece on him.

The New York Times dropped a devastating report with disturbing claims from Graham Platner’s ex-girlfriends.

One ex-girlfriend claimed Platner locked her in a room and forcefully grabbed her.

Janet Mills hops back in? She suspended her campaign.

The “party of democracy” doesn’t think voters should select their candidates.

Interesting. There’s a cutoff date coming up where the candidate cannot be replaced. NJ had that same issue and the NJ supreme court changed it. Gave us Lautenberg after the seat was ours.

That is the most likely scenario.
The time of these reports makes sense for the anti-Planter wing of the Rat party.

July 13, 2026, Withdrawal for Replacement Deadline
July 27, 2026, Replacement Nomination Deadline.

The central committee (executive board?) of the Maine Democratic party will reluctantly accept Platner's withdrawal (and breath a collective sigh of relief) and then nominate Mills.

I don’t know what the new issue(s) is, but he gives me an icy feeling up my spine.

He was found with a live boy or a dead girl.

(although the former may now be a resume-enhancer among democrats....)

The vibe I get is a ginger hot head......from I’ve heard from females that have spent time around him I’d say that’s probably pretty accurate.

This clown is the perfect choice as a DemonRAT candidate. A woman beating Nazi. With an SS Death’s Head tattoo. Gotta love it. These criminal fools don’t vet their candidates at all.

Any way he keeps his campaign money to pay himself and campaign team by only suspending his run? Or will it be insisted that he forwards any unused cash to Mills?

And I think back to how vicious the media was because Dan Quayle committed the unforgivable sin of a spelling fopaux.

We really don’t hate the media enough.

How bad does it have to be for a Communist to drop out?

What could it be, if not a lot more of the same physical abuse allegations? To this point, nothing seems to matter to the Dems who want to vote him in. That tattoo didn’t matter. His past remarks on Tik Tok were brushed aside by Party Leaders such as Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries.

Have the despicable attorneys Gloria Allred, and her daughter Lisa Bloom retired?

Is THIS what the ex-girlfriends said he did to them?

“How bad does it have to be for a Communist to drop out?”

democrats are for the most part Godless which means they are capable of doing just about anything.

I don’t think there is a threshold.....they have no shame.
