“Graham Platner quit Maine’s U.S. Senate race last week after being accused of sexual assault, but his campaign committee remains flush with cash,” NOTUS reports.
“Platner’s campaign had more than $1.7 million cash on hand as of June 30, according to a new financial filing with the Federal Election Commission, as he had raked in cash from enthusiastic donors across the country.”
“But that money, were Platner’s campaign to give it away, may be politically toxic.”
