Ocasio-Cortez campaigns for Jackson in Maine; Fox poll has Senate race tied at 49%

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez campaigned for Democrat Troy Jackson in Maine, where a Fox News poll has him tied with Sen. Susan Collins at 49% each.

Posted Updated (10 d ago)

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York campaigned in Maine for Democratic Senate nominee Troy Jackson, CBS News reports. Jackson held a town hall with her in Portland on Thursday. CBS says she also criticized Republican Sen. Susan Collins.

A Fox News poll has Collins and Jackson tied at 49% each. Fox says President Trump's job approval in Maine is 25 points underwater. PBS NewsHour describes the race as a toss-up. It says both parties are fighting for a seat that could decide control of the Senate.

Collins is a five-term incumbent. Jackson is a former logger and state legislator, according to PBS.

Collins also said a new Maine radio ad should be pulled, The Hill reports. The ad calls Jackson a "creep" and uses lyrics set to a country-style tune. Citing the Associated Press, The Hill says the lyrics say a man who would cheat his own family would do the same to yours.

CNBC says the race is a test of how voters feel about Trump's tariffs on Canada.
