January 1, Maine Democrat Gov Aims to Oust Collins

Wyatt’s Take

• Maine Democrat Janet Mills targets GOP Sen. Susan Collins’ seat.
• Mills highlights clash with Trump in her campaign launch.
• She would be the oldest new senator ever if she wins.

Maine Governor Janet Mills, a Democrat, just announced she’s running to take Republican Susan Collins’ Senate seat. In her campaign message, Mills leans into her public fight with President Trump over rules about transgender athletes.

“I’ve never backed down from a bully and I never will,” Mills declared. She claims Trump is taking away health care and giving breaks to big corporations, and she says Collins supports him.

The Democrat primary is packed, and at 77, Mills would make history as the oldest first-term senator if she defeats Collins. Senate Democrat leadership wants this seat badly because it’s key to flipping the Senate away from Republican control.

Susan Collins is the only Republican senator running for reelection in a state that President Biden carried, making this one of the nation’s biggest battleground contests.
