By not making an explicit decision on running for the U.S. Senate, Gov. Janet Mills is causing several Democrats to hold off on deciding whether or not to challenge U.S. Sen. Susan Collins in 2026.
The Democratic governor termed out of office next year has seen her national profile rise since her “see you in court” remark to President Donald Trump during a verbal clash in February at the White House over Maine’s transgender student-athlete policies that led to Trump targeting the state. National Democrats have spoken with Mills about challenging Collins, the Republican seeking a sixth term.
Should Janet Mills run against Susan Collins for U.S. Senate?
