Schumer joins calls for Platner's withdrawal as Dem support collapses

With Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer urging Graham Platner to withdraw from the Maine Senate race, the Democratic Party's best chance to capture a Senate seat has hit a major snag. This move comes as Democratic support for Platner collapses, and it’s now a chaotic situation just four months before Election Day. The stakes are high because Maine was seen as a key state for Democrats to flip a Republican seat, and now the party finds itself in a nightmare scenario as they lose their best opportunity to gain ground in the Senate.
