Top Dem operative brushes off latest scandal plaguing Maine Senate candidate as 'salacious gossip'

High profile Democrats aren't backing off their support for Maine Senate candidate Troy Jackson following reports he fathered children with his cousin.

Former Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Donna Brazile was among the chorus of party voices throwing cold water on the claims about Jackson in a scandal-plagued Senate race that was already upended after former far-left candidate Graham Platner was forced to drop out earlier this summer following a series of controversies that culminated in a rape allegation.
