Maine Democrats are poised to pick Troy Jackson as their new Senate nominee on Saturday, the culmination of a brief and unusual contest to replace Graham Platner after he left the battleground race amid scandal. 'I don't think anybody saw it coming,' said Dan Kleban. His platform includes Medicare for All, abolishing ICE and hiking taxes on billionaires. Jackson's only remaining opponent is Pelletier.
