The Democrat Troy Jackson has won Maine’s US Senate race, toppling five-term Republican incumbent Susan Collins in one of the biggest upsets of the 2026 midterms.
Jackson, 58, unseated Collins – who has been in the Senate since 1997 – in a closely fought, and often rancorous, race characterized by mutual accusations of corruption and clashes over living costs in the predominantly rural state.
The victory delivers Democrats one of their most coveted pickup opportunities this midterm cycle, and brings an end to Collins’ nearly three-decade tenure in Washington.
Very few senators infuriate me on the regular like Susan Collins does.
And now she’s gone. But maybe not before someone picks up the investigation into her campaign finances again.
Congratulations to Mainers on your new Senator!

Schumer and Jeffries are heart-broken at the loss of their dear neoliberal colleague. Hopefully they join her soon.
did she even say thank you?
Hoo boy. Talarico destroys probably the most openly corrupt politician in Texas, Hinojosa rolls ol Hot Wheels out of Austin, Andrews becomes the first woman to be senator in South Carolina by beating a spineless ghoul’s sister, and now Susan Collins is truly concerned as she gets unemployed by Troy Jackson. Just… chef’s kiss
Has Susan learned her lesson?
Don’t forget Amy Acton whooping on rape enabler Ramaswamy. She’s also the first woman to govern Ohio.
Georgia has the first female black Governor in US history
And in New Mexico Deb Haaland became the first Native American woman to be a governor! Lots of great stuff happening last night.
And Flanagan (MN) in the Senate.
Good. She should have retired, but she was greedy, and had more to steal, so now she has the pleasure of being whooped in embarrassing and humiliating fashion in front of the whole world.
I was so scared that Collins would survive another wave like the cockroach she is.
Finally got her. Good fucking riddance.
It took people hating Donald Trump enough to finally get rid of her.
LOL i was literally just looking for this meme to post
Reading this feels so good.
Finally they got rid of that faithless crow.
Thank fuck that smarmy condescending jerkbag of a woman is going away. She has been so incredibly annoying and useless.
We want justice not revenge!!!
¿Porque no los dos?
Because we want justice and progress on real issues. That’s plenty to focus on
We need both. Seriously. We need progress on existential and social issues and we also must have justice or conservatives will return with even more effective fascism. No matter what, conservatives will always call justice “revenge”.
Yes. Both
Hahaha get shit on, Collins 🦀🦀🦀🦀
I think she’s learned her lesson.
