Episode Details

Maine Democrats have a new Senate challenger in Troy Jackson, a fifth-generation logger and former Senate president stepping in after Graham Platner’s withdrawal. Known for his working-class roots and populist stance, Jackson’s campaign faces scrutiny over his legislative history — including a fiery past and shifting stances on social issues — as he races against well-funded Republican incumbent Susan Collins with just 100 days to build momentum. His early activism, from protesting Canadian labor practices to evolving on social issues, underscores a lifelong commitment to the common worker — and Democrats hope his unapologetic fight for blue-collar values will energize voters and turn the tide in a tough race.
