‘That guy has questions to answer’: Booker distances himself amid Platner’s sexting scandal

Sen. Cory Booker is raising concerns about Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner as controversy swirls around reports of explicit messages allegedly sent to multiple women. In a revealing interview, Booker said Platner has “questions to answer,” signaling unease within Democratic ranks despite the candidate’s strong polling numbers. The scandal has injected fresh drama into Maine’s high-stakes Senate race, with Platner’s wife defending him and top Democrats continuing to back his campaign. As scrutiny intensifies, the controversy is becoming a major test for Democrats hoping to flip a key Senate seat.
