Maine Democrat Troy Jackson projected to win Senate race over incumbent Sen. Collins
ABC News projects that Democrat and logger Troy Jackson will win the Senate race in Maine, defeating incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins.
Collins was the only Republican running in a state this election cycle that former Vice President Kamala Harris won during the 2024 presidential election.
The Maine Senate race was upended earlier this summer after the initial Democratic nominee, Graham Plater, withdrew from the Senate race following allegations of sexual assault, which he has denied.
Jackson defeat of Collins flips a state that Democrats have long sought. Collins faced a reelection in an environment not so friendly to Republicans, and despite past elections where she’s been able to run independent of Trump, she couldn't do so tonight.
