Pressure growing on Maine Democrat Graham Platner to drop out of Senate race

Pressure is mounting on Maine's Democratic candidate for the Senate Graham Platner as early supporters of his campaign — such as Sen. Bernie Sanders — join in calls for him to drop out of the race after an allegation of sexual assault published Monday.
Platner called the allegation "categorically false" and said he is "taking the time to reflect on the best path forward."
