Susan Collins loses Maine Senate seat to Democrat Troy Jackson

Original: susan collins

Republican Senator Susan Collins of Maine has been defeated after roughly 30 years in office. Democrat Troy Jackson, a fifth-generation logger and former Maine Senate leader, won the 2026 midterm race, marking a rare ouster of a longtime incumbent. Coverage highlights Collins's fall as a major GOP loss in a contest also shaped by the Canada-U.S. trade war, which hit Maine's border economy. Reaction spans celebration from Democrats and reflection from Republicans on what the upset means for the party.

Why now: The 2026 midterm results just came in, with Collins's long-running Senate seat flipping to Democrats in a notable upset.
