Maine Democrats Replace Plattner with Troy Jackson

At 10:45 · chapter starts 8:21

With Graham Plattner forced out over sexual assault allegations he denies, Maine Democrats convened an emergency party convention on Saturday and selected longtime state lawmaker Troy Jackson as their new Senate nominee — winning 566 to 5. Jackson, a fifth-generation logger who served as state Senate President, wasted no time claiming the progressive mantle: his acceptance speech promised Medicare for All, corporate accountability, housing affordability, union rights, abortion rights, LGBTQ protections, and resistance to Trump and ICE. The party is expected to submit his nomination formally Monday morning. Democrats view the seat as critical to reclaiming the Senate majority, and Jackson will be running in one of the country's most closely watched contests against the durable incumbent Susan Collins. The challenge, however, is that Jackson's progressive bona fides are brand new — and his record tells a very different story.
