Democrats’ top Senate super PAC said it was “committed” to defeating GOP Sen. Susan Collins now that Graham Platner has suspended his campaign.
In the wake of a POLITICO reportthat a woman said Platner forced her to have sex with him, which he denies, Senate Majority PAC promised to cut resources to the state if he remained on the ticket. Now, it’s opening the door once again.
“Senate Majority PAC is committed to defeating her and electing a Democratic majority in November,” spokesperson Lauren French said of Collins on X, shortly after Platner’s announcement Wednesday evening that he was ending his campaign.
Platner alluded to that move as part of the reason for ending his bid on Wednesday, saying in a more than 11-minute video posted to social media that people in power “are using these allegations as an excuse to take away all of the things we need to run a campaign.”
