Susan Collins announces reelection bid in pivotal Maine Senate race

By The Associated Press
PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Republican Sen. Susan Collins announced her reelection bid Tuesday, betting that she can hold onto her coveted Maine seat despite a renewed Democratic effort to oust her in a race that could determine control of the U.S. Senate. The campaign will test Collins' political survival skills. The 73-year-old has won five terms by casting herself as a reflection of Maine's independent spirit, occasionally clashing with President Donald Trump while also largely supporting his agenda. “I have always worked across the aisle to solve problems. Maine needs experienced, steady leadership that focuses on getting things done," Collins said in a Tuesday statement. As she seeks a sixth term, Collins faces outrage over immigration enforcement tactics that could become a political liability for Republican candidates across the country. A recent operation in Maine led to hundreds of arrests but also criticism that people were being rounded up even if they didn't have criminal records.
