Democrat Troy Jackson defeats Senator Susan Collins in Maine

Original: susan collins

Maine's Senate race has produced a major upset: Democrat Troy Jackson, a fifth-generation logger, has defeated longtime Republican Senator Susan Collins, ending her decades-long hold on the seat. Collins has called Jackson to concede. The result pads the Democratic majority in the Senate and is being described internationally as a blow to Republicans in the 2026 midterms.

Why now: Collins, a fixture of the Senate for roughly 30 years, has just lost her seat in a surprising midterm upset.
