Jackson Secures Maine Senate Nomination in Open-Process Controversy
TL;DR
Maine Democrats tapped Troy Jackson as their U.S. Senate candidate after Graham Platner withdrew amid sexual assault allegations, choosing him via a 601-delegate convention that awarded Jackson roughly 94% of the votes, effectively bypassing a statewide primary; critics say the process sidelined voters, while Jackson has pledged to unite the party and run to defeat Susan Collins, with Kamala Harris later endorsing him.
