Though a few lesser-known candidates remain on the ballot, including David Costello and Saundra Pelletier, even beer magnate Dan Kleban is backing Jackson and seeking to withdraw. Delegates will vote Saturday — and while not obligated, all signs point to Jackson’s victory as Democrats gear up for a tough fight against Collins.
