Some democrats believe they need this Senate sit so bad they are willing to simply ignore those allegations. I get it, even if those allegations are true he can still help stop Trump and push some socialist policies. Republicans do this all the time: screen loudly the allegations are false so they can claim they don’t believe them, not simply don’t care about them.
Platner will most likely wait to see how this affect his chances. If he can still win he will keep running.
In the future Dems should look for less sketchy candidates.

The problem is, he has less than a week to decide to drop or not. The impact on his candidacy won’t be known until AFTER the deadline to drop. Which is why people are saying the accuser is politically motivated.
