Troy Jackson defeats longtime Maine Sen. Susan Collins
Democrat Troy Jackson defeated longtime GOP Sen. Susan Collins in the Maine Senate race, CBS News projects.
60 Minutes
What the coverage shows
Most outlets simply project or report Troy Jackson’s win over Susan Collins, and several foreground the length of Collins’ tenure or the effect on Senate control. CNN and NPR both frame it as a Democratic pickup, while NBC News says it pads Democrats’ majority and CBS News/60 Minutes stick closest to the bare result. CBS’s earlier item is the outlier, focusing on Maine voters explaining their choices, and PBS NewsHour is only a live video post after Collins concedes.
