Sen. Elissa Slotkin responds to New York Times story on Graham Platner - Deadline - MS NOW



"I look forward to the day where I am not answering every single week a question about bad behavior by another dude."

Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) responds to new reporting from The New York Times stating that "several women who dated Graham Platner recall ‘unsettling’ behavior." In a statement to The Times, Mr. Platner said he had “too often self medicated with alcohol, and was a far from perfect boyfriend," but "any characterization beyond that is false."

MS NOW has not independently confirmed the NYT's reporting. - Aired on 06/04/2026.
