Democratic challenger Troy Jackson defeated incumbent Republican Senator Susan Collins in Maine, delivering the state's first Democratic Senate seat since 1995 and bolstering Democrats' bid to regain the Senate majority. Earlier polls had shown Jackson ahead of Collins, with a recent survey giving the Democrat a six-point advantage.

State officials warned that the close margin might trigger Maine's ranked-choice tabulation, potentially postponing the final count for several days. The campaign focused on abortion rights, rising health-care costs and the impact of President Donald Trump's policies on Maine voters.

Résumé

Four claims were partially confirmed: that Susan Collins was in a close race with Troy Jackson for the Maine Senate seat on October 27, 2026; that Troy Jackson defeated Susan Collins on November 4, 2026; that Jackson's win marked the first Democratic Senate seat from Maine since 1995; and that a poll on November 2, 2026, showed Jackson ahead by six percentage points. One claim, stating that CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten said President Donald Trump's low approval rating gave Jackson an advantage in the upcoming Maine Senate election on October 29, 2026, had insufficient evidence. No claims were fully confirmed or refuted.
