Senate Race
Maine Senate candidate faces scrutiny over old Reddit posts
Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner is under fire for deleted Reddit posts from 2013 to 2021 that promote violence, express communist views, and include racist remarks. The 41-year-old veteran and oyster farmer has disavowed the comments as youthful indiscretions made during a period of disillusionment. The revelations come amid a competitive primary race against Governor Janet Mills to challenge Republican Senator Susan Collins.
