Maine Senate hopeful Troy Jackson is seeking to downplay his ties to the far left, rejecting the socialist moniker despite previously receiving the backing of radical streamer Hasan Piker and the Maine chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America.
“I don’t really consider myself anything. I’m upset a lot at the Democratic Party. What I know is I fight for working-class people,” Jackson told CNN’s Manu Raju when asked if he sees himself as a socialist.
Jackson quickly emerged as the grassroots’ favorite pick to replace scandal-scarred oyster farmer Graham Platner, who dropped his bid after facing a rape accusation that he denied.
Lefty activists surmised that Jackson, who led the Maine Senate from 2018 through 2024, had similar views to those of Graham, with whom he campaigned repeatedly.
“[I]f the dem establishment think [sic] that they can risk the senate majority by not replacing platner with an acceptable substitute – we will be risking a loss to susan collins,” Piker declared on X during the frenzy to replace Platner. “[T]roy jackson is him!”
Piker, who is notorious for saying in 2019 that “America deserved 9/11” — remarks he later regretted because they gave his conservative critics ammunition against him — has emerged as a political hot potato for Democrats.
Piker’s ties to Dr. Abdul El-Sayed have complicated Democrats’ efforts to hold onto the Michigan Senate seat and inspired an onslaught of GOP attacks that have led to other Dems keeping their distance.

Brilliant. Did your cousin wife tell you to say that Troy?
Oh my, oh my, oh my, lol.
Vote for me, I’m a nothing! That should be a winning message.
The commies bring nothing.
Dems’ polling lead is smaller than it was in 2018 — when blue wave failed to flip Senate
He’s a lying sack of shite....but, the AWFLs socak it up like a dry sponge...spit.
It’s curious that under Maine law, Troy Jackson is disqualified from running for this Senate position. The law clearly states that anyone who runs for one elected position in any given election cycle and loses cannot run for another elected position in the same election cycle.
Our scuzzball SOS, Shenna Bellows, enforcer of all laws that affect Republicans and not Democrats has chosen to ignore that law.
I don't consider you an American, Troy!!
working-class people That is code for I am a commie.
“Being a US citizen doesn’t make you an American!”. rktman 2026.
ALOT OF’WORKING PEOPLE” ARE REPUBLICANS
If he gets in, DAY ONE he will go full on Commie.
“...If he gets in, DAY ONE he will go full on Commie...”
He was full Commie when he was in the legislature...useless piece of shite.
I saw him at one of the state fairs this summer and outright refused to shake his hand. He can kiss my arse, and I STILL wouldn’t shake his hand...not enough hand sanitizer in the world could clean em afterwards...spit.
