How Troy Jackson Can Put Collins' Career On The Chopping Block (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Maine’s Sen. Susan Collins (R) has won five elections in a row, and a Democrat has not won a United States Senate seat in the state since 1988 — but polls suggest Mainers have reached a breaking point.

Troy Jackson, a fifth-generation logger who spent nearly two decades as a state legislator, says he’s ready to shake things up. After populist insurgent Graham Platner dro

Now, in Florida’s Aug. 18 primary, he’s a democratic socialist going up against Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-Fla.) — who once called himself a “twice-appointed, Ron DeSantis Democrat.” Moskowitz claims Larkin is running against him “solely on my religion.” He has also vastly outraised Larkin, thanks in part to support from AIPAC affiliates and pro-AI super PAC
Big Money Lost To Abdul El-Sayed. Where Will It Go Next? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Michigan just proved that money has its limits in elections. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed beat out establishment sweetheart Rep. Haley Stevens (D-Mich.) in what was likely the most expensive Democratic primary in U.S. history. El-Sayed’s win was a major blow to the super PACs and shadowy nonprofits that spent tens of millions against him, but the story is far from over.
