Senate Democratic leadership is grudgingly sticking with Graham Platner, their presumptive nominee in Maine, after a whirlwind tour through Washington, D.C., meant to ease concerns over a new extramarital “sexting” scandal.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) gave scant details about his Tuesday meeting with Platner, but he told reporters that he supported his candidacy the fifth time he was asked about the race and Platner’s political baggage.
