Collins, Jackson duke it out in third Maine Senate debate: 3 takeaways
Republican Sen. Susan Collins (R) and Democrat Troy Jackson clashed Tuesday in their third Maine Senate debate with just three weeks until Election Day. Collins and Jackson sparred on several topics, including the incumbent's votes for and against the Iran war as well as their differing views on how to address cost of living issues...
Incumbent Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff and Republican challenger Representative Mike Collins engaged in a heated debate on Tuesday night as part of the Atlanta Press Club Loudermilk-Young Debate Series. The exchange, which served as the second and final debate between the two lawmakers, occurred on the same day early voting began in Georgia.
The candidates traded personal and political attacks regarding the 2020 election results, rising costs, the war with Iran, and the Jeffrey Epstein files. The Hill reported that Ossoff tied his opponent to controversial tariffs and war.
During the debate, Collins repeated allegations that Ossoff is an out-of-touch politician who prioritizes online attention over the needs of Georgians. CBS News noted that Ossoff, who is the only Senate Democrat running for reelection in a state won by President Trump in 2024, used the event to signal that his 2021 victory was not merely a temporary trend. Ossoff also reaffirmed that he has no interest in running for president in 2028.
