Last update: 9 hours agoMaine Politics: Graham Platner has formally withdrawn from Maine’s U.S. Senate race, filing notice with the secretary of state and ending his bid after sexual assault allegations he denies—now forcing Democrats to scramble to pick a replacement by a July 27 deadline, likely via a roughly 600-delegate nominating convention. Party Process: The party says it’s aiming for a transparent, consistent process, but county-level details have been uneven, leaving candidates and voters watching closely. Volunteer Pressure: Platner’s volunteer network is pushing whoever replaces him to stick to the same policy agenda that powered his campaign. Health & Community: MaineHealth Behavioral Health is launching a 12-month Psychiatric APP Fellowship to expand the behavioral health workforce, and the Maine Cancer Foundation is set to benefit from Tri for a Cure, which just hit a new fundraising record ahead of Sunday’s race. Weather: Lower humidity and sunshine move in before hotter air returns next week.
