Following Platner's victory in Maine, Democrats look ahead to general election

Democratic Nominee Graham Platner’s mission in the months ahead will be convincing voters that the contest for U.S. Senate should not be about his past, but about Maine’s future. “This is not about me at all," Platner said after his victory. " This is a movement about us.” For weeks, he’s been on defense about a string of scandals, including misogynistic online posts, a Nazi tattoo he’s since had covered, sexual text messages he sent to other women in the early days of his marriage to his wife, and disturbing reports from previous women he dated, including an allegation of violent behavior. #montana #montanamoment #nbcmontana #mtwx #news #national #nationalnews #politics #politicalnews #planter #maine #victory #scandalstory #watch #today #todaynews #democracy #general #generalelections #lookahead #public #publicreaction #senate #senaterace #controversyvideo #controversialnews FULL STORY: https://nbcmontana.com/news/nation-world/following-platners-victory-in-maine-democrats-look-ahead-to-general-election-us-senate-president-donald-trump Stay up to date with our digital and social media content: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NBCMontana Twitter: https://twitter.com/NBCMontana Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nbc_montana/ Latest local news and weather: https://nbcmontana.com/ Latest Weather Forecast: https://nbcmontana.com/weather Download our App: https://nbcmontana.com/station/nbc-montana-news-and-weather-app Share Your Photos and Videos: https://NBCMontana.com/ChimeIn Send us News Tips: ml-Missoula-KECI-News@sbgtv.com Call our newsroom: 406-721-5642 NBC Montana is a MT based station and a NBC Television affiliate owned and operated by Sinclair Broadcast Group.
