TL;DR

Democratic primary voters backed Platner with roughly 75% of the vote, despite recent controversy over a tattoo resembling a Nazi symbol and allegations about his past behavior toward women. Platner, a military veteran and political newcomer, said he was unaware of the tattoo's meaning when he got it years ago and has since covered it. He will face incumbent Republican Senator Susan Collins in the November midterm election.
