Troy Jackson amankan mayoritas delegasi untuk nominasi Senat Maine

Mantan Presiden Senat Maine Troy Jackson telah memperoleh lebih dari dua pertiga delegasi menjelang konvensi Partai Demokrat negara bagian di Bangor. Dua pesaing utamanya telah menangguhkan kampanye mereka dalam perebutan posisi calon Senat partai tersebut untuk menggantikan Graham Platner.

Jackson memenangkan dukungan kuat dalam pertemuan di berbagai wilayah, dengan lebih dari 400 dari 601 delegasi menyatakan komitmen untuk mendukungnya pada konvensi mendatang. Hasil ini menyusul mundurnya kandidat Graham Platner kurang dari dua minggu sebelumnya di tengah tuduhan pelecehan seksual yang dibantahnya.

Sekretaris Negara Bagian Maine Shenna Bellows dan mantan Direktur CDC Maine Nirav Shah mengakhiri pencalonan mereka seiring dengan meningkatnya keunggulan Jackson. Shah mendukung Jackson dan mendesak persatuan partai untuk mengalahkan Senator Partai Republik Susan Collins.

Jackson, seorang penebang kayu dari Maine utara yang memiliki hubungan dengan Senator Bernie Sanders, telah berkampanye dengan tema populis termasuk Medicare for All. Ia mengatakan kepada para pendukungnya dalam sebuah rapat umum pada hari Minggu bahwa gerakan tersebut harus diperluas untuk menang pada bulan November.

Konvensi Partai Demokrat dijadwalkan berlangsung pada hari Sabtu. Collins sedang mengupayakan masa jabatan keenam dengan keunggulan penggalangan dana dan rekam jejak kemenangan yang panjang di seluruh negara bagian.
