Former state Senate President Troy Jackson has secured the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate race in Maine, positioning him to challenge incumbent Republican Senator Susan Collins. Jackson clinched the nomination on Saturday, formally establishing the matchup between the two candidates as the November midterm elections approach.
The nomination process comes as Democrats and Republicans vie for control of Congress in the upcoming midterm elections. With approximately 100 days remaining until the general election, Jackson will now have limited time to build his campaign against Collins, an incumbent senator who has held her seat for multiple terms.
