After Democratic Shake-Up, Susan Collins Holds Enormous Cash Edge in Maine

Maine Democrats are set to nominate Troy Jackson, a progressive workers' rights advocate and lumberjack, to challenge Republican US Senator Susan Collins. This decision follows the collapse of the party's original candidacy shortly before midterm elections. While Jackson is viewed as a potential victory for the party, Susan Collins maintains a substantial financial advantage. This funding edge is driven by significant contributions from various billionaire-funded super PACs supporting the veteran Republican senator in the race.
