Troy Jackson picked to challenge Collins in Maine after Platner's exit

Troy Jackson, former Maine Senate President, was selected by Democrats to challenge Republican Sen. Susan Collins in Maine after Graham Platner's campaign ended due to sexual assault allegations, which Platner denies. Jackson's nomination is seen as a progressive move to flip a key Senate seat. His campaign priorities include Medicare for All, cutting tax dollars to Israel's military, abolishing ICE, and a federal right to abortion.
