Representative Ro Khanna (D-CA) announced a get-out-the-vote rally in Bar Harbor, Maine, scheduled for Friday, alongside Senate candidate Graham Platner, gubernatorial candidate Troy Jackson, and House candidate Matt Dunlap. This announcement comes amid controversy surrounding Platner, who has faced scrutiny for sending sexually explicit text messages to multiple women while married. Despite concerns voiced by some Democrats, including Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ), Khanna has expressed support for Platner's campaign, emphasizing a coalition focused on economic populism. Khanna's rally invitation highlighted the need for new leadership prioritizing working-class interests over those of billionaires. The rally is set to occur just days before Maine's primary on June 9, where Platner is positioned as the Democratic nominee following Governor Janet Mills' withdrawal from the race.
