Sen. Bernie Sanders Campaigns with US Senate Candidate Troy Jackson in 'Solidarity Forever Tour'
Sanders urged more than 600 rallygoers to back Jackson as recent polls showed a tight race for the Senate seat.
- Independent Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders rallied with Democratic nominee Troy Jackson in Bangor on Saturday, October 10, urging more than 600 voters to support Jackson to help Democrats regain Senate control.
- Jackson replaced Graham Platner on the ballot in July after Platner withdrew following sexual assault allegations he denied, prompting Sanders to redirect his campaign support.
- A Washington Post-George Mason University poll released Friday showed Jackson leading Republican Senator Susan Collins 50 percent to 46 percent, though a YouGov/CBS News survey indicated a dead heat at 50 percent each.
- Jackson continues campaigning with get-out-the-vote events scheduled for Lewiston and Biddeford on Sunday, while he and Collins prepare for two debates this week.
- With Republicans holding a 53-47 Senate majority, Democrats must flip four seats to take control, making the Maine contest a critical battleground in the 2026 midterms.
