Senator Bernie Sanders, a long‑time independent who caucuses with Democrats, joined Maine Democratic Senate nominee Troy Jackson at a rally in Bangor on Saturday. The event drew supporters eager for a progressive voice in the state’s battleground race. Sanders highlighted Jackson’s record on climate and workers’ rights, urging voters to back a candidate who shares his commitment to social justice.
