GOP bets 100 days to derail Maine Senate hopeful Troy Jackson

With 100 days until the election, Republicans plan a coordinated push to derail Troy Jackson’s Senate bid by tying him to former rival Graham Platner and portraying him as an insider with a radical, populist agenda. The NRSC and Senate Leadership Fund rolled out six-figure ads immediately after Jackson’s nomination, arguing he’s the Platner successor with baggage; Democrats aim to frame him as a populist outsider while he defends his Maine roots and attacks Senator Collins’s long tenure and corporate ties.
