美国前副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯为缅因州民主党联邦参议员候选人特洛伊·杰克逊背书。
“我很清楚在距离选举日只剩很短时间时挺身而出是什么滋味。特洛伊从获得参议员提名到缅因州选民投票，只剩下短短101天，”哈里斯在周一的筹款邮件中说道。
哈里斯是在现任总统乔·拜登在一场广受批评的与时任前总统唐纳德·特朗普的辩论表现后退选后，获得2024年民主党总统候选人提名的。

杰克逊曾担任州参议员，今年在缅因州民主党州长初选中失利。他于周六在缅因州民主党联邦参议员提名大会上被正式提名为联邦参议员候选人。大选将于11月3日举行。
上个月赢得2026年缅因州民主党联邦参议员初选的格雷厄姆·普拉特纳，本月早些时候因面临强奸指控退出竞选，尽管他此前声称“任何关于非自愿行为的指控都是完全虚假的”。

杰克逊正在挑战长期任职的共和党现任参议员苏珊·柯林斯，柯林斯自1997年以来一直担任该席位议员。
柯林斯的竞选发言人布莱克·克南周一在给福克斯新闻的一份声明中表示，哈里斯“完全清楚他正在经历什么”。

Former Vice President Kamala Harris backed Democratic Maine U.S. Senate candidate Troy Jackson.
“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,” Harris said in a Monday fundraising email.
Harris was tapped as the 2024 Democratic presidential nominee after incumbent President Joe Biden dropped out in the wake of a widely-panned debate performance against then-former President Donald Trump.

Jackson, a former state senator who ran unsuccessfully in the Democratic Maine gubernatorial primary this year, was tapped as the U.S. Senate nominee at the Maine Democratic Party’s U.S. Senate Nominating Convention on Saturday. The general election will be on Nov. 3.
Graham Platner, who won the 2026 Maine Democratic U.S. Senate primary last month, dropped out of the race earlier this month in the face of a rape allegation, though he had asserted, “Any accusation of non-consensual behavior is categorically false.”
Fox News Digital reached out to Jackson’s campaign on Tuesday.

Jackson is challenging long-serving incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins, who has been in office since 1997.
Collins campaign spokeswoman Blake Kernen said in a statement to Fox News on Monday that Harris “knows exactly what he’s going through.”
