Troy Jackson files paperwork to explore replacing Graham Platner

DSA endorsed Troy Jackson in his run for governor in the Democratic primary.

"Troy Jackson is a 5th-generation logger from Alligash, a union member, and the former

Maine Senate President. Troy is a progressive fighter who has spent his entire political

career standing up for working people. On May 6th, after a lengthy consideration from

our members, Maine DSA voted to endorse Troy Jackson for Governor, joining 40 labor

unions and Bernie Sanders among his list of campaign partners."

In contrast, Platner was only recommended for Senate, with a lot of caveats about the red flags that preceded the sexual assault allegations.

Some clues I found regarding Graham Platner's scandal

Graham's alleged victim's name - Jasmine Racicot, is weirdly close to Gisèle Pelicot, a victim of known french mass rape scandal.

Also, I couldn't find facebook account of Jasmine Racicot, a 41 year old woman. When I typed it and Platner's name on facebook search bar, I only got CNN interview with Jake Tapper.

I know it's semi-conspiratorial but I'm reluctant to claims in Politico's article. Hard evidence we could see so far is vauge messenger conversation and CNN interview with Jake Tapper where basically Tapper says accusations and the victim replies "yes".

Moving too fast?

​

I'll be the first to say this looks bad, like really bad, but given what we avtually know now, I can't help but think we might be rushing here. Should we not at least wait a few days to see if he has an alibi (which may take time to put together)?

Tell me what I'm missing with these issues (none of what I listed defends Platner or suggests she's being disingenuous):

- here's the article: https://www.politico.com/news/2026/07/06/graham-platner-sexual-assault-allegation-00987737

- The messages to/from the therapist are "recent", so it doesn't mean she was talking to the therapist back in 2021 about the r\*pe

- All of the corroborating sources are anonymous, and nobody can seem to reach her for comment

- Her framing and the NYT framing doesn't match the politico story

- She apparently messaged Platner "it wasn't consensual" and then erased it afterwards, but can't they still be dug up, like digitally? Couldn't he prove he didn't receive or delete a message?

- "We became aware of allegations before ever being connected with Jenny, and have been in contact with multiple women with really troubling allegations..." - shouldn't we expect the "dam to break" after this allegation?

- The messages to others aren't particularly condemning by the story's telling or the one screenshot they shared (unless I just couldn't see more on my phone browser)

- People are comparing this to Swalwell, but Swalwell had multiple accusations, not just one. To date - and it's very possible this will change - no other woman has credibly made this claim, and no other outlet/organization besides Politico has corroborated it.
