Maine Secretary of State is interested in this race, probably going to jump in.

She was also a runner-up in the governor primary.

There's Troy Jackson, who's worked in the Maine state legislature.

To some progressives, he's their preferred candidate.

He was on Meet the Press Now with our colleague Kristen Welker, and he was asked if he wants Grant Plattner's endorsement.

He said he didn't, but he's also walking a fine line because he wants to harness that movement, those supporters.

Thank you for having me.

Yeah, absolutely.

So what Graham Plattner said was interesting.

He denied the allegations again.

He essentially said that because of the allegations, he has no ability to run a campaign.

I think this entire situation complicates things for Democrats.
