Senador Brian Schatz mobilizará doadores para candidato do Maine em meio a polêmicas

O senador Brian Schatz tem presença marcada em um evento virtual de arrecadação de fundos neste domingo em apoio a Graham Platner, candidato democrata ao Senado pelo Maine que enfrenta diversos escândalos. A participação marca a primeira demonstração pública de apoio do senador do Havaí ao candidato em apuros antes das primárias de terça-feira.

Platner tem atraído críticas devido a recentes alegações de comportamento abusivo contra ex-namoradas e outras revelações pessoais, incluindo mensagens explícitas enviadas enquanto era casado. Ele negou as alegações, descrevendo-as como motivadas politicamente. O candidato arrecadou mais de US$ 200 mil nos dias seguintes a uma reportagem do New York Times que detalhou as acusações. Platner afirmou que sua campanha continua forte e que não considerou desistir. Schatz, que não endossou formalmente Platner, está listado como convidado especial no evento, com ingressos variando de US$ 100 a US$ 7.000. O encontro foi planejado semanas antes. Outros democratas, incluindo o deputado Ro Khanna, ofereceram um apoio cauteloso enquanto pedem foco na derrota da senadora republicana Susan Collins em novembro.
