Graham Platner, a Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate in Maine, conducted internal polling that tested head-to-head matchups against Republican incumbent Susan Collins and five possible Democratic replacements. Unverified reports from Fox News allege that Platner faces sexual abuse allegations and that Alyssa Farah Griffin, described as a co-host of ABC's The View, criticized Democratic candidate vetting. Supported claims are drawn from Fox News and Politico reporting.
