Democrats are facing backlash after backing embattled Senate candidate Graham Platner through multiple scandals, Republicans charge. Despite Platner pulling his name off the ballot, the trail of controversy surrounding his nearly year-long insurgent campaign in Maine continues to tarnish the party's reputation.
