Democrats Race to Fill Maine Senate Slot

Bloomberg's Boston Bureau Chief Brooke Sutherland says Maine Democrats are racing to choose a new Senate nominee after Graham Platner withdrew, leaving the party with little time to unify behind a replacement in a race viewed as critical to control of the Senate.

She says party leaders face pressure over the candidate vetting process as delegates prepare to select a nominee from a crowded field ahead of the filing deadline. (Source: Bloomberg)
