1:22Now PlayingCalifornia Gov. Gavin Newsom said there was "clearly" not enough vetting of Graham Platner in the Maine Senate race following Platner's withdrawal from the campaign. Newsom said he was not familiar enough with Maine's vetting process to comment further but called thorough screening "table stakes." Platner suspended his campaign after a reported sexual assault allegation, which he has denied.
