Summary
Four debates hosted by Maine news outlets are now on the table after Sen. Susan Collins accepted invitations ahead of November’s Senate election.
Troy Jackson has not yet agreed to participate, with his campaign saying any debates should be town halls featuring questions from Maine voters.
Collins, seeking a sixth term, wants the first debate within two weeks and has argued voters should see both candidates answer the same questions more than once.
Tens of millions of dollars are flowing into the race as Democrats try to flip the blue-state seat, though Collins has previously withstood strong challenges and debated five times in 2020.
