Susan Collins condemns ‘freak’ ad attacking Troy Jackson family in Maine Senate battle
Democrats are hoping Jackson defeats the incumbent Collins as the party works to retake the Senate
What the coverage shows
Both outlets frame the item as a live campaign appearance in Portland, Maine, with Troy Jackson joined by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez at a town hall or rally. The AP adds that it is ahead of the Nov. 3 midterm elections, while The Hill’s headline is slightly more informal in saying AOC “rallies” with Jackson.
