[Jackson] said, "In northern Maine, they call me pickup truck progressive. You know, I am who I am. I'm fighting for Mainers every day of the week. That's always who I cared about. I fight for Republican business owners. I mean, I'm hearing from Republican business owners now that aren't voting for Collins because what she's doing in Iran, the tariffs, how challenging that is."
