Susan Collins condemns ‘freak’ ad attacking Troy Jackson family in Maine Senate battle

What the coverage shows

The coverage mostly clusters around the Maine Senate race and Troy Jackson’s campaign presence, with PBS NewsHour framing it as a close, closely watched contest and The Independent noting Democrats’ hopes of unseating Susan Collins. AP and 60 Minutes both foreground Jackson’s event with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, with 60 Minutes placing it in a broader roundup. Only The Independent explicitly mentions Collins condemning the “freak” ad.
