Episode Details

Maine Democrats have a new shot at flipping a Senate seat with Troy Jackson, a former state Senate president and logger, stepping in to challenge Senator Susan Collins after the previous nominee withdrew amid sexual assault allegations. With less than 100 days to campaign, Jackson must quickly unite grassroots support, distance himself from the scandal, and outpace Collins’ deep pockets and Republican backing—all while running on a progressive platform that mirrors his predecessor’s. Polls show a razor-thin race, and experts are watching to see if Jackson can energize voters and raise funds as effectively as his predecessor did, in what’s shaping up to be one of the most pivotal Senate races of the cycle.
