Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) has agreed to four debates against former state Sen. Troy Jackson, her Democratic opponent, as the two face off for Collins’s seat in the Senate.
Collins agreed to the four debates hosted by local media outlets, while Jackson, who entered the race in late July, has yet to agree to any. The circumstance bucks the norm in debates, where incumbents typically are not the first to agree to multiple debates, as they often have more to lose than lesser-known challengers looking to make a name for themselves.
