Susan Collins faces strong Democratic challenger in Senate race: Poll

Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine is facing an uphill climb to retain her seat, which has gone virtually uncontested since she was first elected in 1996, and has been slammed from both the Left and the Right for toeing a line that seems to have pleased no one.

In a 2016 editorial, Collins called President Trump “unworthy of being our president,” declaring that she would not be voting for him. She was one of several Republican senators who tried to stop Trump from ousting Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland earlier this month, according to reports, and she has publicly chastised Trump, including for remarks calling on China to investigate political rival former Vice President Joe Biden.
