Maine Gov. Janet Mills Enters Crowded Democratic Race
Maine Governor Janet Mills announced her entry into the Democratic race to unseat Republican U.S. Senator Susan Collins, a top target for national Democrats seeking to regain the Senate.
Mills' decision comes after a high-profile confrontation with President Donald Trump in February, which triggered retaliatory moves by his administration against the state and is featured in her launch ad.
“When I was a little girl growing up in Farmington, my father always said you have to stand up to bullies.”
Mills will first need to navigate a potentially bruising Democratic primary. She was recruited by Democratic Senate leaders after her confrontation with Trump, which she described as a “jaw-dropping” moment showcasing Trump’s monarch-like aspirations.
