NYT Columnist Regrets Praising Senate Candidate Amid Rape Allegation After Reevaluation

New York Times opinion columnist Michelle Goldberg has expressed deep regret for praising Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner after a rape allegation was made against him, stating that she had misjudged the situation and was 'utterly wrong' to endorse him. Goldberg wrote in her column that she now believes Platner is unfit for office due to the allegations. The criticism comes amid a growing backlash against Plattner's campaign following the revelation of the rape accusation. Goldberg's statement suggests a shift in her opinion on Platner, from support to opposition.
