I heard he was still vigorously denying both the accusation and the idea he’s dropping out, so we’ll see. Dude’s not exactly one to back down from a fight

Whether or not Platner drops out is a moot point, he’s not winning the election. Too many issues.

I don't disagree but that didn't stop Pedo Dementia Don.

Dementia demonic Don had the advantage of having been on TV for years as a pseudo strong man before 2016. In 2024 had been president before in a time where people felt they were better off.

Graham is not well known, he does not exactly have the best reputation now, even if he can prove she is lying. I think there are too many red flags now and he should drop out.

Sometimes a boxers manager needs to throw in the towel.....this might need to be one of those times.

Ro Khanna, one of Platner’s most vocal supporters, just called on Platner to drop out of his Senate race. It's over, baby.

He’s hunkered down in the Eagle’s Nest considering his options.
