Summary
Maine’s Senate race just got wild as Troy Jackson, ex-President of the Maine Senate and a Bernie Sanders-backed progressive, surges ahead to challenge Susan Collins. With most delegates already backing him ahead of next weekend’s convention, the Democrats are scrambling after their first pick, Graham Platner, stepped aside amid serious allegations. Platner, who had won the nomination in June, cited mounting pressure, while fellow contender Shenna Bellows also dropped out to focus on her current role. With the July 27 deadline looming, all eyes are on Jackson as the Democrats’ best shot at flipping a key Senate seat.
