El senador Brian Schatz recaudará fondos para el asediado candidato de Maine

El senador Brian Schatz tiene programado aparecer este domingo en un evento virtual de donantes en apoyo a Graham Platner, el candidato demócrata al Senado por Maine que enfrenta múltiples escándalos. Esta aparición marca la primera muestra pública de respaldo del senador por Hawái hacia el cuestionado candidato antes de las primarias del martes.

Platner ha recibido críticas por recientes acusaciones de comportamiento abusivo hacia exnovias y otras revelaciones personales, incluidos mensajes explícitos enviados mientras estaba casado. Él ha negado las afirmaciones, describiéndolas como motivadas políticamente. El candidato recaudó más de 200.000 dólares en los días posteriores a que un informe del New York Times detallara las acusaciones. Platner ha dicho que su campaña se mantiene sólida y que no ha considerado retirarse. Schatz, quien no ha respaldado formalmente a Platner, figura como invitado especial en el evento, con entradas que oscilan entre los 100 y los 7.000 dólares. El encuentro fue planeado semanas antes. Otros demócratas, incluido el representante Ro Khanna, han ofrecido un apoyo moderado mientras instan a centrarse en derrotar a la senadora republicana Susan Collins en noviembre.
