Maine's Democratic Candidate for the US Senate Graham Platner is facing calls to leave the Senate race after a woman accused him of sexual assault, an allegation he denies as "categorically false."
Senior Democrats, including Chuck Schumer and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, have urged him to withdraw.
The controversy adds to previous issues involving his campaign, including a disputed tattoo, past online comments and personal conduct allegations.
Platner, who is challenging Susan Collins, has until July 13 to withdraw and have his name removed from the ballot.
