前副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯周一公开支持缅因州民主党参议院候选人特洛伊·杰克逊 [1]。杰克逊在周六通过临时召集的提名大会被选为民主党候选人 [1]，接替因性骚扰指控退出的前候选人格雷厄姆·普拉特纳 [1]。
哈里斯在筹款邮件中表示理解杰克逊仓促的竞选时间表 [1]。她写道："我深知在距离选举日仅有短暂时间内挺身而出是什么样的经历。特洛伊从获得参议院提名到缅因州选民投票之间只有101天的时间 [1]。"
杰克逊将面对共和党资深参议员苏珊·柯林斯 [1]。自获得提名以来，杰克逊已筹集200万美元 [1]，而柯林斯已筹集超过1600万美元 [1]。
Former Vice President Kamala Harris endorsed Democrat Troy Jackson on Monday in his bid for Maine's U.S. Senate seat.[1] Jackson was selected as the Democratic nominee on Saturday through an emergency nominating convention, replacing Graham Platner, who withdrew from the race following sexual harassment allegations.[1]
In a fundraising email, Harris acknowledged the compressed timeline facing Jackson, stating: "I know what it is like to step up to the plate with a short runway to Election Day. Troy will have just 101 days between his nomination for Senate and when voters in Maine will cast their ballots."[1] Jackson will face Republican incumbent Susan Collins, who has already raised more than $16 million for her reelection campaign.[1] Since receiving the Democratic nomination, Jackson has collected $2 million.[1] The outcome in Maine is significant for Democrats, as they seek to regain control of the Senate.[1]
