The U.S. midterm elections were held on November 3, 2026. There were two candidates on the ballot for the U.S. Senate seat that was up for election in Maine. They were incumbent Susan Collins (Republican) and Troy Jackson (Democrat). Collins, who was first elected to her seat in 1996, was serving her fifth term and did not face a challenger in the Republican primary on June 9. Jackson was selected as the Democratic candidate in a convention held on July 25 to determine who would replace the party’s primary winner, Graham Platner, who earlier that month had withdrawn from the race after he was accused of sexual assault (which he denied). Jackson narrowly won that race.
