Troy Jackson, a former state Senate president, has been chosen as the Democratic nominee to run against Republican Sen. Susan Collins. He won the nomination in a landslide at the Maine Democratic Party’s nominating convention. The Senate race in Maine is one of the key midterm showdowns that will determine control of the chamber. Jackson’s nomination comes after Graham Platner, the previous Democratic nominee, dropped out of the race due to scandals. Jackson has received support from labor unions and progressive groups, including Our Revolution. The Senate showdown in Maine is expected to be competitive and expensive.
It seems that the Democratic Party has quickly moved on from the Platner scandal and is now focused on supporting Jackson’s campaign.
