Story summary

On November 3, 2026, Troy Jackson defeated incumbent Susan Collins, a 30-year Republican senator from Maine, in a closely watched U.S. Senate race. Jackson's victory is seen as a significant gain for Democrats amid concerns over economic issues such as rising fuel and heating oil prices due to the Iran war and trade tensions with Canada. Voters like Todd Cox cited broader national issues, including "bullying" under the current administration, driving their decision to support Jackson. The win marks the end of Collins' long-standing career in the Senate and a major shift for Democrats aiming to regain control of the chamber.
