Maine Democrats Pin Hopes on Troy Jackson to Oust Susan Collins The Democratic Party in Maine has chosen Troy Jackson as its new nominee for the US Senate seat, following Graham Platner's surprise withdrawal from the race due to allegations of sexual assault.
The decision comes after a crowded field of candidates vied for the nomination.
Jackson's progressive platform, which includes policies like Medicare for All and dismantling Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), may resonate with the party's base but raises questions about how he will appeal to more moderate voters in the state.
