Fox News posted a 5:17 clip titled "Susan Collins predicts strong finish just two days before Maine vote," filed under its Primary Politics coverage.

What Fox says. According to the network's description, the Republican senator defended her bipartisan record and said she is more optimistic than ever about her chances of defeating Democratic challenger Troy Jackson. Fox lists a related article on its page, headlined "Collins accuses Schumer of pushing attack ads filled with 'outright lies' in tight Maine race."

The context. Earlier Fox polling we covered had the Maine Senate race tied, with Collins and Jackson each at 49 percent. Maine votes Tuesday along with the rest of the country.

What we could not check. This post summarizes a short video. We relied on Fox News's published title and description, not a transcript, so we cannot quote Collins or say what she offered as evidence for her optimism. The description includes no response from Jackson. A senator on the ballot expressing confidence two days before an election is a campaign message, and we have not verified the clip's contents.
