By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Graham Platner has privately informed his staff of his intention to formally withdraw from the Maine Senate race on Monday, the final deadline for him to do so. This announcement follows his public statement of suspending his campaign, but the official withdrawal requires filing paperwork with the Secretary of State. Platner has expressed a desire for the process of selecting his replacement to be driven by public will rather than internal party decisions, amidst ongoing disagreements among Democrats regarding the nomination process.
