## Resource

Maine Democrats pulled off a last-minute pivot after their Senate nominee, Graham Platner, was forced out amid serious allegations. In a surprise move, delegates chose Troy Jackson — a progressive who’s drawn fire for shifting his stance on how candidates should be picked, especially when it benefits him. Critics question his credibility, citing past controversies like throwing a water bottle — but Jackson’s pushing forward, backed by Kamala Harris’ endorsement, with a laser focus on defeating incumbent Susan Collins. He’s framing this as a fresh start, promising to earn trust over the next 101 days as the race heats up. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
