Gov. Janet Mills, D-Me., kicked off her campaign for Senate Tuesday, joining a crowded primary field vying to challenge longtime Republican Sen. Susan Collins next year.
The two-term governor, who has sparred with President Donald Trump's administration since January, framed her entrance into the race as an effort to check the White House.
"If this President and this Congress were doing things that were even remotely acceptable, I wouldn't be running for the U.S. Senate," Mills said in her announcement video.
"I won't sit idly by while Maine people suffer and politicians like Susan Collins bend the knee as if this were normal," she added.
The Maine Senate race is one of Democrats’ few opportunities to flip a Senate seat and chip away at Republicans’ 53-seat majority next year.
