## Resource

Dr. Nirav Shah drops out of the Maine Senate race to fully back Troy Jackson, aiming to unite the Democratic party and unseat Susan Collins. With Jackson already holding a commanding delegate lead and Shenna Bellows also stepping aside, the path forward is clearer — Shah’s move signals a strategic pivot toward party cohesion over internal competition, hoping to turn the tide against Collins before the general election.
