Democrat Troy Jackson won the U.S. Senate election in Maine, defeating Republican incumbent Sen. Susan Collins, PBS NewsHour reported.

Jackson, a former Maine Senate president and fifth-generation logger, became the Democratic nominee in July after the initial nominee withdrew amid allegations, CBS News noted.

Susan Collins conceded the race, ending her 30-year Senate career and bid for a sixth term, NBC News reported.

The race was seen as a top opportunity for Democrats to flip a Republican-held seat, with Maine having supported Democrats for president since 1992, according to PBS NewsHour.

Jackson's victory adds to Democratic gains in the Senate amid a political environment affected by issues such as the unpopular war in Iran and high fuel prices, CBS News explained.
