缅因州民主党参议员提名人特洛伊·杰克逊抨击柯林斯的联邦资金主张:“这点钱微不足道”

民主党参议员提名人特洛伊·杰克逊将矛头指向资深共和党参议员苏珊·柯林斯的资历论点,指责“我们正在损失资金”;柯林斯则回击称,如果杰克逊当选,该州将失去相关资金。

据福克斯新闻决策厅预测,第五代伐木工特洛伊·杰克逊在缅因州上演了一场重磅爆冷,击败了现任共和党参议员苏珊·柯林斯,为民主党在争夺美国参议院控制权的战役中注入了重要动力。

杰克逊的胜利将终结柯林斯近30年的参议院生涯。

“缅因州,我欠你们一切,”杰克逊在社交平台X上写道。“我已准备好前往美国参议院为缅因州民众工作,我向你们承诺:我永远不会忘记自己的出身,也不会忘记为谁而战。”

此次胜利为民主党在2026年中期选举最受关注的竞选之一中拿下了关键一席。这场缅因州竞选被视为对民主党能否在近年总统选举中日益转向该党的州击败共和党现任议员的关键考验。

这一结果还可能对参议院控制权的归属产生重大影响。

“能代表缅因州民众担任美国参议院议员,是我一生的荣誉。我为过去30年里为我们州和国家所做的一切感到自豪,”柯林斯在向她的民主党对手承认竞选失败时写道。

“我今晚致电特洛伊·杰克逊向他表示祝贺,并向他保证,我和我的团队将努力确保权力交接顺利完成。”

杰克逊曾担任缅因州参议院议长,在州议会中代表阿鲁斯托克县部分地区。他在竞选期间以工人阶级民主党人、劳工倡导者的形象示人,称在取代被除名的参议院提名人格雷厄姆·普拉特纳参选后,他将同时挑战华盛顿的政治建制派和富豪势力。

普拉特纳于7月因涉嫌性侵指控退出竞选,此事促使缅因州民主党内部举行投票,推选杰克逊参选。

杰克逊的竞选活动早期几乎陷入停滞,原因是有报道称,他相伴多年的伴侣——也是他两个孩子的母亲——还是他的堂妹,两人拥有共同的曾祖父母。但这一丑闻并未阻止他撼动柯林斯这位政坛常青树。

柯林斯于1996年首次当选美国参议员,当时正寻求第六个任期。她是缅因州任职时间最长的国会议员,还曾执掌权力极大的参议院拨款委员会,这一职位赋予她对联邦开支及缅因州项目资金的重大影响力。

作为参议院中较为温和的共和党人之一,柯林斯在最近一次连任竞选期间,围绕自己的独立形象和跨党派合作事迹展开竞选。她重点宣传自己在基础设施、退伍军人事务、农村社区及缅因州居民联邦援助方面的工作,同时强调自身资历和委员会职位能为该州在华盛顿争取优势。

这场竞选的背景是柯林斯与唐纳德·特朗普总统及共和党的复杂关系。民主党批评柯林斯对特朗普支持的政策投赞成票,以及她对最高法院大法官布雷特·卡瓦诺的提名投赞成票,称她的温和派声誉已与其投票记录不符。

柯林斯则回击称,曾多次与特朗普及参议院共和党人意见相左。她强调自己愿意与本党决裂,并认为缅因州选民看重她的独立性胜过党派忠诚。

“特洛伊、查克·舒默及其盟友投放广告,声称我是总统的傀儡。相信我,特朗普总统听到这话会大吃一惊的,”这位参议员上月接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访时表示。

前民主党参议员乔·曼钦在竞选最后几周为柯林斯助选,帮她树立了跨党派参议员的形象,称她能与两党议员合作。

杰克逊的胜利标志着缅因州的重大政治转向,也终结了柯林斯作为共和党最具韧性的全州级候选人之一的生涯。柯林斯在2020年以近9个百分点的优势成功连任,但2026年竞选期间,民主党凭借该州日益转向民主党的选民结构以及对特朗普政府的反对,占据了优势。

杰克逊将以前州议会领导人的身份进入参议院,与有组织劳工和缅因州农村地区联系紧密。他的当选很可能让他成为民主党争取全国工人阶级选民时,经济议题上的重要声音。

Maine Democratic Senate nominee Troy Jackson blasts Collins over federal funding claims: ‘It’s a pittance’

Democratic Senate nominee Troy Jackson takes aim at longtime Republican Sen. Susan Collins’ seniority argument, charging that ‘we’re losing money.’ Collins returns fire, saying the state will lose out on funding if Jackson is elected.

Fifth-generation logger Troy Jackson has pulled off a major upset in Maine, defeating incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins and giving the Democratic Party a major boost in the battle for the U.S. Senate, the Fox News Decision Desk projects.

Jackson’s victory will end Collins’ nearly three-decade career in the Senate.

“Maine, I owe you everything,” Jackson wrote on X. “I’m ready to get to work for Mainers in the U.S. Senate, and I promise you this: I’ll never forget where I came from or who I’m fighting for.”

The win gives Democrats a major pickup in one of the most closely watched races of the 2026 midterm elections. The Maine contest was viewed as a critical test of whether Democrats could defeat a Republican incumbent in a state that has shifted increasingly toward the party in recent presidential elections.

The result also could have major implications for control of the Senate.

SCHUMER WARNS OF REPUBLICAN ADVANTAGE THAT COULD CHANGE THE BATTLE FOR SENATE CONTROL

“It has been the honor of my life to serve the people of Maine in the United States Senate. I’m proud of all I have been able to accomplish for our state and for our country in the past 30 years,” Collins wrote in conceding the race to her Democrat challenger.

“I called Troy Jackson tonight to congratulate him and to assure him that my staff and I will work to ensure a smooth transition.”

Jackson previously served as president of the Maine Senate and represented parts of Aroostook County in the state Legislature. He campaigned as a working-class Democrat and labor advocate who would challenge both Washington’s political establishment and wealthy interests after he replaced disgraced Senate nominee Graham Platner on the ballot.

Platner dropped out of the race in July amid allegations of sexual assault, which prompted a vote within the Maine Democratic Party to install Jackson.

Jackson’s campaign was nearly knocked off its tracks early on when it was revealed his longtime partner and mother of his two children is also his second cousin — the two share great-grandparents, according to reports. But that scandal wasn’t enough to stop him from toppling the political institution that is Senator Collins.

COLLINS INSISTS SOCIALIST RIVAL WON’T BEAT HER AS MAINE’S MONEY MACHINE: ‘YOU’LL LOSE BIG TIME’

Collins, who was first elected to the U.S. Senate in 1996, was seeking a sixth term. She is Maine’s longest-serving member of Congress and chaired the powerful Senate Appropriations Committee, a position that gave her significant influence over federal spending and funding for Maine projects.

Collins, one of the more moderate Republicans in the Senate, built her latest reelection campaign around her reputation for independence and bipartisan dealmaking. She highlighted her work on infrastructure, veterans’ issues, rural communities and federal assistance for Maine residents while arguing that her seniority and committee position gave the state an advantage in Washington.

The race was shaped by Collins’ complicated relationship with President Donald Trump and the Republican Party. Democrats criticized Collins over her votes for Trump-backed policies and her vote to confirm Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, arguing that her reputation as a moderate no longer matched her voting record.

Collins countered by pointing to the times she opposed Trump and Senate Republicans. She emphasized her willingness to break with her party and argued that Maine voters valued her independence more than party loyalty.

“Troy and Chuck Schumer and their allies run ads saying that I’m somehow a puppet of the president. Believe me, that would come as a huge surprise to President Trump,” the senator said in an interview last month with Fox News Digital.

Former Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin campaigned with Collins in the closing weeks of the race, helping her make the case that she was a bipartisan senator who could work with lawmakers from both parties.

Jackson’s victory marks a significant political shift in Maine and ends Collins’ run as one of the Republican Party’s most durable statewide candidates. Collins won reelection by nearly nine percentage points in 2020, but Democrats entered the 2026 contest with advantages driven by the state’s increasingly Democratic electorate and opposition to the Trump administration.

Jackson will enter the Senate as a former state legislative leader with strong ties to organized labor and rural Maine. His election is likely to make him a prominent voice on economic issues as Democrats seek to appeal to working-class voters across the country.
