Tonight in Maine, an allout scramble to replace Graham Platner as the Democratic nominee in a Senate race that could decide control of Congress.

In just 24 hours, dozens of leading Democrats, including more than 20 senators, now demanding Platner drop out after an ex-girlfriend came forward to accuse him of sexual assault.

>> Did Graham Platner rape you?

>> By definition, yes, >> absolutely.

>> Platner denying the allegation, but saying he's re-evaluating his campaign.

>> We are taking the time to reflect on the best path forward.

Today, his top supporter, Senator Bernie Sanders, who stood by him through a series of scandals, saying he spoke with Platner and in light of these very serious allegations, I have recommended that he step aside.

Platner has until Monday to remove his name from the ballot, but as he deliberates, his party is moving on.

Tonight, several main Democrats already raising their hands to take his place.

David, again, Platner has until Monday to remove his name from the ballot.

If he does, the main Democratic party would have two weeks to replace him, but there's no clear road map for exactly how that would play out.

David, uncharted territory for sure. for J. O'Brien. Thank
