Troy Jackson, former Maine Senate president, received the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate at a July 25, 2025 convention with 566 delegate votes, replacing Graham Platner after his campaign suspension. Jackson will face incumbent Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) and reported raising $2 million from more than 58,000 donors in the two days following the nomination. Supported claims derive from Washington Examiner and Breitbart reporting; several legislative record details remain unverified.
