Bernie Sanders says he told Graham Platner to ‘step aside’
It’s Sanders’ first comment since POLITICO reported on Monday that a woman who dated Platner says he sexually assaulted her.
I understand the law in Maine is if he drops out by July 13th at 5 PM then party has 2 weeks to pick a candidate
From Guardian:
State law doesn’t dictate the exact process for selecting a replacement nominee, but there has been consternation among some Democrats about a closed-door party selection, which would bypass a competitive process that effectively allows voters to repeat the primary process.
“If a process for selecting a new nominee becomes necessary, it will be open, transparent, and inclusive,” said Devon Murphy-Anderson, the Maine Democratic party’s executive director, in a statement. “[The party] hopes that we have broad participation of Mainers and Democratic voters in what happens next. In no scenario is there a legal possibility for a nominee to be selected by an individual campaign.”
Shah called on Tuesday for a process that was “as open and transparent as possible”, with debates and town halls.
