Rather than answer the broader question about the progressive movement, Mamdani pivoted back to Platner's campaign.
Earlier this week, Graham Platner, the Democratic candidate for Senate in Maine, was accused by a former partner of sexual assault.

Graham Platner had until 5 p.m. on Monday to formally suspend his campaign or he would remain on the ballot in November.
