She is running again

by

Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine officially announced her reelection bid for Senate Tuesday, despite repeated criticism from President Donald Trump.

“This is perfect for 2026, because I’m running,” Collins said in an announcement video, showing her unboxing a pair of sneakers.

Collins touted her record of hammering out bipartisan solutions in a Bangor Daily News op-ed on Tuesday.

“I have a proven record of working for you, and I’m running for reelection because my experience, seniority and independence matter,” Collins wrote.

Her decision to run again is good news for Republicans, who were eager to keep the longtime senator in the race in a key battleground state. Collins is expected to face off with either Gov. Janet Mills or oyster farmer and veteran Graham Platner after the June Democratic primary.
