With roughly 86 percent of the vote counted, Jackson holds a 53.5 to 45.2 percent lead.
Collins was at first set to take on versus DSA-backed Graham Platner, the Democrats’ preliminary choice to be the candidate in spite of a Nazi tattoo scandal, and discoveries from his own partner that he sexted with numerous ladies after the 2 got wed a couple of years earlier. Misogynistic and racist Reddit posts from Platner likewise didn’t at first frighten Maine Dems away, nor did accusations of domestic abuse from a previous sweetheart.
