Obama Comes Out in Support of Troy Jackson After His First Debate with Susan Collins
The Maine Wire ^ | October 9, 2026 | Seamus Othot

Posted on 10/10/2026 7:04:36 AM PDT by DoodleBob

Former President Barack Obama came out in support of Troy Jackson’s Senate bid on Thursday after the candidate’s first debate with Susan Collins.

“Troy Jackson is running to be your next Senator and I’m proud to be on board. In this economy, we need a fighter like Troy, a fifth-generation logger,” said Obama.

“Now we need Troy to deliver for us in the Senate, so do not sit this one out. Get out there and vote for Troy Jackson,” he added.

In the 50-second video, Obama repeated the claim that Jackson used to work 80-hour weeks logging and was still struggling to afford basic necessities.

The former president repeated a variety of Jackson’s campaign talking points, including claims that he fought to raise wages, lower prescription drug costs, and expand abortion access.

Jackson has consistently highlighted Sen. Collins’ vote in favor of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh and the subsequent overturning of Roe v. Wade and has tried to make abortion a key aspect of his campaign, despite Maine already having one of the most permissive abortion laws in the country.

Obama’s endorsement comes as a number of prominent left-wing figures throw their support behind the candidate in the wake of his performance at the first Senate debate on Tuesday.

On Wednesday, Jackson sat for a glowing interview with former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki.

Shortly before Obama’s endorsement was published, Democrat-megadonor and horror author Stephen King issued his own statement endorsing the Democrat nominee, referring to him as Troy “the Boy” Jackson.

Based on polling it’s a dead heat.

Collins is no deplorable, but at least she isn’t a leftist hack and didn’t procreate with her second cousin and never marry.

This race in a nutshell.

“In this economy, we need a fighter like Troy, a fifth-generation logger,” said Obama.”

So an economy with rising wages and low unemployment needs a Democrat to correct it. Yep

Yeah, I was going to say - what a shocker!

If Satan was running on the D ticket, Obama would endorse him.

These “news” outlets are shameless. Yeah these a-holes were on the fence but his performance was so good they have decided. What BS

Ok, let's hear how Troy Jackson plans to fix this - and bring prices down for "basic necessities." Does he support Mamdani-style free grocery stores to make things affordable?

Inflation reached 9% during the Biden admin.

Any truth to the rumor that 0 guaranteed that "you can keep your logger if you like him"?

This is good news. Obama’s track record for political endorsements is less than stellar.

I stopped reading at “Obama Comes Out .. “ I knew it was only a matter of time.

—

Obama’s letter to an ex-girlfriend ...

“ .... You see, I make love to men daily, but in the imagination,” Obama, then 21, wrote to Alex McNear in November 1982.

Not a straight man alive would ever write something like that.

An economy with rising wages and low unemployment is an absolutely INTOLERABLE environment for Democrat Socialists, doncha know. Destroys their only justification to even exist.

Death to America - vote Democrat Socialist!

Obama is being trotted out by his CIA handlers. They have a 100 terabyte file of dirt on Obama that keeps him on a leash. The last thing John Brennan wants is for the R’s to gain seats in the Senate and House. I would seal his, and many others’ fates.

Obamas place is out of politics. But he runs things, as corrupt 3rd world dictators do

Where is that creepy W helping Trump? Anyone in the senate? Former?

This is so obvious.

A o one can name anything Obama did that helped this country unless they point to an eventual Islamic state
