Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-New York) declined Tuesday to endorse Troy Jackson, who is expected to become his party\u2019s nominee in Maine to face Sen. Susan Collins (R) in a crucial Senate race.<\/p>

\u201cBottom line is, my north star has always been: take back the Senate,\u201d Schumer told reporters when asked whether he would endorse Jackson. \u201cWe\u2019re going to beat Susan Collins, and we are going to take back the Senate.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jackson<\/a>, a former state Senate president, is expected to become the nominee Saturday at Democrats\u2019 nominating convention. He would replace Graham Platner, who won the Democratic primary last month but dropped out<\/a> under pressure after a sexual assault allegation, which he denied.<\/p>\n

Democrats need to pick up four Senate seats to retake the majority. Collins is the only Republican who represents a state that Kamala Harris won in 2024, making Maine a crucial opportunity for Democrats.<\/p>

Schumer\u2019s comments came after Jackson told<\/a> the New York Times on Monday that he would not support Schumer to remain as Democratic leader in the Senate if he won and that he was not sure he would accept Schumer\u2019s help in the Senate race.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Democratic Party needs to have a different approach \u2014 getting people back in the party, getting working-class, everyday people back in the party \u2014 and I don\u2019t believe it\u2019s going to happen with Senator Schumer,\u201d Jackson said.<\/p>\n
