Headline: Patrick Dempsey rules out bid for U.S. Senate
Caption: On Wednesday, Democratic nominee Graham Platner officially ended his campaign for the upcoming election in Maine after being accused of sexual misconduct, allegations he denied. Amid the controversy, some fans called on Dempsey - who was born in Lewiston - to run for the Senate. And in an op-ed published in the Portland Press Herald this week, the Grey's Anatomy actor noted that the support had been "flattering." "I love my home state of Maine. I care deeply about the people who live there and, like so many Americans, I'm concerned about the direction our country is heading," he wrote.
