Graham Platner, Democratic U.S. Senate candidate for Maine, made campaign remarks at an event in Bar Harbor. He addressed recent news coverage revealing illicit text messages he sent to women during his marriage and said his past was being "weaponized" against him. Platner focused on such issues as affordability. He was later joined by Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA), who spoke in support of Platner's campaign. The winner of Maine's Democratic primary would advance to face incumbent Sen. Susan Collins (R) in the general election. The nonpartisan Cook Political Report with Amy Walter rated the race as a "toss up."
