Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) admitted his faith in Graham Platner was ill placed, after sexual assault allegations led the progressive candidate to drop out of the U.S. Senate race in Maine, but said the failed campaign is not reflective of a general change in momentum that has seen many socialist candidates succeed recently.

“I got the Platner call wrong, obviously,” Khanna told Politico. “But it doesn’t negate from the progressive movement.”
