## Resource

Maine Democrats are racing against time to replace withdrawn Senate frontrunner Graham Platner, with former state Senate President Troy Jackson emerging as the clear favorite to take on Republican Senator Susan Collins in a pivotal Senate race. With less than four months until Election Day and Collins holding a massive fundraising lead, Jackson’s progressive platform — including Medicare for All and ICE abolition — could energize voters, but the odds are steep. The party must officially nominate him by Monday, and if successful, this could be their best shot at flipping a Senate seat — a win critical for national Democrats aiming to reclaim control.
