Troy Jackson tells Sen. Susan Collins to “shut up” in final Maine Senate debate
Democratic Senate candidate Troy Jackson told incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins to “shut up” during the fourth and final televised debate in Maine after a protester interrupted the proceedings, according to The Washington Post. In the same debate, Jackson tied Collins to President Donald Trump while she highlighted her bipartisan record, NBC News reported.
Earlier debates, including the third, featured sharp exchanges over Medicaid, tax cuts and ICE funding, as noted by The Boston Globe. WMTW said the first debates also covered abortion, tariffs and Iran-related investments, with fact-checks later finding several statements exaggerated. The campaign has seen a series of televised confrontations, with polls indicating a tight race and both candidates repeatedly challenging each other's policy positions.
