Susan Collins GOP Primary Has Been Called

Longtime Maine Republican Sen. Susan Collins, seeking a sixth term, once again finds herself targeted by national Democrats aiming to flip the U.S. Senate seat.

Collins, the only GOP senator representing a state won by Kamala Harris in 2024, has been Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s top target for years.

Democratic groups have already flooded the airwaves with attacks, while the DSCC and allies pour resources into boosting controversial Democratic frontrunner Graham Platner ahead of the primary on Tuesday night.

Collins won the Maine Republican primary on Tuesday night. She ran unopposed.

She will face off against Graham Platner, who won the Democratic primary.

Earlier this week, Collins warned that voters will find Platner to be “too radical.”

Platner hopes to unseat the longtime Republican senator with the help of Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, and Rep. Ro Khanna of California.
