The
Hill - Former Maine Senate President Troy Jackson formally
clinched the Democratic nod to take on Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) in
November, giving the party just 100 days to quickly turn the tides in the
must-win race.
Jackson handily won on Saturday
with 566 votes during the Democratic nomination convention in Bangor, Maine.
His only challenger, biopharmaceutical executive Saundra Pelletier, nabbed the
remaining five votes.
….Democrats in the state largely
consolidated around the former state senator ahead of the convention to replace
scandal-ridden Graham Platner, who exited the race earlier this month. The
contest, which Decision Desk HQ and Cook Political Report rate as a toss-up,
could prove decisive in the party’s chances of clinching the upper chamber this
fall
