Young Maine Voters Could Decide Collins-Jackson Senate Race

Troy Jackson has emerged as the Democratic challenger to Republican Sen. Susan Collins in a closely contested Maine Senate race. University of New Hampshire polling places the candidates within the margin of error, while showing especially strong Jackson support among voters ages 18 to 34. The race will test whether Democrats can sustain youth engagement after Graham Platner's withdrawal, while divisions over Israel policy and major financial disparities add pressure to the campaign.
