Who could replace Graham Platner as Maine's Democratic Senate nominee?

Graham Platner, the Democratic nominee for the Senate in Maine, has said he is weighing whether to continue his campaign after an explosive sexual assault allegation reported by Politico and CNN on Monday. But Democrats are already considering more than a half-dozen potential replacements for Platner in the pivotal battleground.

Platner faces renewed pressure to drop out of the race before a Monday deadline to replace him on the ballot after he was accused of sexual assault. He denies the allegation.

Troy Jackson and Nirav Shah are two potential candidates to replace Graham Platner should he drop out of Maine's Senate race. The Platner vetting process that wasn't has become its own subject of coverage as Democrats consider how an oyster farmer and Marine veteran with a string of controversies became the nominee.
