Amy Gertner, the wife of Graham Platner, a Democratic Senate candidate in Maine, stated that he exchanged sexually explicit texts with other women during their marriage. This information was shared with his campaign last year, as reported by the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal. Platner, who is an oyster farmer and former US Marine, is currently the presumptive Democratic nominee for the US Senate after his main competitor, Janet Mills, suspended her campaign last month. He is competing against five-term Republican Senator Susan Collins and has faced controversy regarding past online posts that have been described as racist, sexist, and homophobic, as well as a tattoo of a Totenkopf, a symbol associated with Nazi imagery.
