Maine Sen. Susan Collins announced Wednesday she intends to run for reelection, seeking a fifth term in what will likely be the most difficult campaign of her career.
Collins has been raising money and running TV ads as if she was running for reelection for months, but delayed any official announcement, creating widespread speculation about her intentions. In a letter to supporters Wednesday, she made her plans clear.
Democrats argue that Collins has lost her bipartisan credentials in recent years and expect to give her the most difficult challenge of her career. They’re likely to nominate state House Speaker Sara Gideon, who faces a primary but leads the field in fundraising and has been endorsed by the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and a host of Maine Democrats.
The race has already featured more than $7 million in TV, radio and digital ads from Collins, Gideon and a handful of outside groups, and is likely to be the most expensive race in Maine's history.
I hope they vote this rhino out
After 24 years in Senate playing the role of a political coquette & living in a bubble, her day of reckoning is near. On bills, first she's for...then against. Odds are good against her re-election.
Vote her out!
Term limits needed now!
And she will lose
She does 0. They could elect a dish rag and have better represenation. Resign we have seen enough of you SenatorCollins
Hopes and Prayets
And So what else is new?
She will lose.
Who is running against her I want to make sure to donate to them.
Idiot
Oh, I can rest easy now.
Sellout SenatorCollins will NOT be reelected.
Good luck on that one. She sold her soul to Trump and Mainers are neither dumb nor forgiving.
You lose RINO. You needed to retire years ago.
VoteHerOut
Thanks for Kavanaugh
If she votes against his impeachment she knows what will happen to her. Her vulnerable position will kick her in the rear end and she will be OUT. No one needs people who put party over country.
Let's make it even more difficult, shall we?
Loser wont win against SaraGideon . She sealed her fate when she betrayed every woman in this country by confirming Kavanaugh! ByeBitch
Who’s running against her? I’d like to contribute to their campaign.
She's done little for Maine, but she has done very well for herself during her time in the Senate. She's a coward and a liar.
Well, that just spoils the day
No Dems in 2020!!
send her packing
Defeat loomsKavanaughlied
Not a snowball's chance.
Buh-Bye!
Bye Susan 😎
I said that 6 months ago. She’s not giving up a Free Ride. She needs to go she does nothing for our President nor for Maine people unless it benefits her!
If you don’t vote to remove the president from office you will be removed from office by the voters.
She will first act all outraged at Drumpf's behavior and then 'struggle' with what she will call the lack of evidence and then the Turtle will buy her vote and she will vote NO.
She will lose.
Paper ballots?
I look forward to her defeat. SaraGideon
Let's support SaraGideon and tell Susan it's time to retire.
🤦🏽♀️
Sack her.
Vote her out!
She needs to be trounced in the vote - send a message
She said today will run .. what will she do next week .. right thing or kiss butt .. find somebody in MAINE and rid her .. a lady .. to ask her .. why did you vote YAY to a molester unfit SCOTUS JUDGE ..
If the people are smart they will finally vote her out of office.
Vote her out
Not a reliable supporter of women. Kavanaugh
Term limits
Of course Susan Collins HouseGOP is running again. Who thought anything different?
Hopefully senator, you will do the right thing. POTUS is not above the law.
SenatorCollins another member of the GOP with no backbone. Claims to be for reproductiverights but was out played in the Kavanaugh vote by senatemajldr
I wonder if who if she is getting paid to stay
Susan can. get. the. HELL. OUT.
Like I said. She is a drama queen and there was no doubt she would run again. She will vote to keep the Devil in office. She likes the attention and being told how to vote.
If maine wants change...NO on Collins!
There goes the state
Vote BLUE 💙 💙 and contribute to who runs against her
Bu-Bye
Hope she loses.
Oh no! She has to go!
The mainegop must primary SenatorCollins ! rino
She is going along with Mitch Mconnell in letting this be a sham trial. She is a disgrace to Maine and I can’t wait to vote her out. Doubly so because I voted for he so she is making me complicit in destroying our constitution and democracy. She is a power hungry coward.
She's looking for campaign payments for her vote against impeachment, just like all her 'hanging' votes which always bring $$$ & favors to Susan. She and Rand Paul have this figured out. Surprised even Repugs haven't figured her out.
I wish her a miserable loss.
...and she will suffer a humiliating defeat. 👍
What a fool.
She’s toast
That is the way it works‼️
😡😡
We have work to do starting now in serious mode!
We thank Susan for her services, but we need someone that will stand-up for the laws and U.S. constitution.
So she’ll vote no on removal. Ok thanks for the heads up.
These people in Congress are addicted to power and money ....we need term limits.
She is a joke and embarrassment. LockHerUP
For what?! 🤣😂😂😂
This means she’ll vote against impeachment and then get booted out. Bye SenSusanCollins
SenatorCollins is UnfitForOffice
Term limits
Good luck dingbat
🤮
Which means that GOP offered her campaign enough money to be concerned but not enough to remove Trumpetto.
Vote TiffanyBond and dump this shill
How old is she!? A million!? 👵👵👵
OK, Maine. You can reelect the morally bankrupt but consistently 'concerned' attention-hog or you can elect someone who is more interested in you and the nation than in the spotlight. The rest of us will be watching.
That’s too bad. Thought she would have the good sense to retire
Yeah good luck with that
Hasta Luego Susan. You’re a wolf in sheep’s clothing and we don’t need hypocrites like you! Dejas!
Pls through this woman out!! No guts to do the right thing!!! Defend Americans of all walk of life!!
Good luck with that, soon-to-be ex Senator. 🙂🤡🙂
She’s too old
Is she announcing today to justify her impeachment vote
I'm sure Russia money is a factor ....
Good luck madam two face.
Vote Blue good people of Maine.
She's probably going to lose her seat...
Hoping she is kicked to the curb
Maine should remember how she caves to our present potus
Bet she’ll vote for Trump
We the People, the majority, have taken names of those who’ve supported corruption, selling out our democracy. Vote her out. All of them out. Remind them the majority is not Trump’s gullible base.
Nit going to maine while this creep is there!
Seriously going to give what I can to whoever is running against the hand wringing women . I can’t vote as I am in Arizona but will do what I can
Let’s stand with Gideon! Collins has deserted women and her constituents. Women elected her and women can send her home.
Hahahahaha. Bring it on, SenatorCollins Hope you lose BIGLY.
If she's smart she'll vote for impeachment and maybe she'll have a chance but I doubt it.
Don’t bother running SenCollins, unless you grow a spine and vote to impeach.
SenatorCollins should pay attention to the overwhelming evidence and vote to remove President trump if she wants to get reelected. Maybe then I'll forgive her for Kavanaugh.
Ooooh goody, now she can have her a$$ handed to her 😂🤣voteCollinsout
KAVANAUGH
I hope she loses!
Wishy washy Collins
SenatorCollins needs to be replaced!
She’s always disappointing to women. Especially the strong new class of freethinking independent politicians who refuse to yield to the pressure of male counterparts. Her actions run contrary to Pres. Obama’s recent statement. Maybe some OLD women need to get out of the way also.
family needs the taxpayers money, cause she is a rubber stamp for a criminal 45
And she has become so controversial and unpopular that she will lose! Goodbye Susan!
Bye Felecia.
We must get term limits! It is beyond time to let the younger generation get involved in the Country that keeps letting all these people beyond retirement age keep their jobs!
SenatorCollins Sorry 'bout Your 'Poor Choices' in politics.. You're a 'RINO'.. You MUST Embrace the WeThePeople and ONLY the PEOPLE, Damn the Corporate, Big Business, Drug Companies, Unions, Teachers, You've KowTowed To and For.. And Do IT OUR WAY.. TRUMP2020LandsideBaby
Tax Scam only helps the Rich Doners! Economy will be hurt cause the middle class will get crumbs, face huge Gov. Debt & have cuts to social programs! GOP only cares about Rich Donors! Dump All GOP to save our country!
sethjlevy She is such a Rhino, time for a real Republican to take her place.
I hope she suffers a humiliating loss
I hope she gets beat into oblivion.
I’d like to explain my vote against impeachment before I cast it by confirming that my lips are soldered to the ass of Donald Trump so I can continue to have a government paycheck in 2021.
Good luck bi*ch.
Landslide for Collins after her Kavanaugh moment
I will be helping to defeat her.
Let’s hope Mainers are smarter than she thinks!!!
Why won’t these old dogs in both parties retire and allow others to step up.
Who cares?
You will lose SenatorCollins. That will be a good day for Maine and for the rest of us.
Vote her out!
She’s got that Russian money backing her, so why not?
May she lose bigly!
She, just can't get enough of that funky stuff, huh?
Just can't leave the power huh? Terms limits will be the best thing for the people
Sounds like she feels confident in her chances. Let’s prove her wrong.
Will gleefully contribute to her opponent
Difficult and unsuccessful
Well... I’ll be donating to her opponents campaign. She dishonors her oath
SusanCollins 🔚
Like anyone didn’t expect that. She will be next in line to kiss Trumps ass, too!
Can she keep her integrity at the same time or has that already been sold ?
I will support anyone who runs against her.
Well, “I’m extremely disappointed.”
This is why we need term limits. She is another do nothing fossil
May she disappear
People of MAINE are SMARTER than to reelect another 45 PUPPET!!
VOTE FOR SaraGideon
Let’s defeat her!
Good luck
What a joke
She will lose! Buh-bye!
Term limits.
Vote her out.
Good luck 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
No 5th term for Collins if she votes against impeachment
JohnResistor She has earned the humiliation this promises to bring.
SenSusanCollins yes!
She is finished.
*last campaign of her career
Here’s hoping she loses, bigly.
BYEBITCH!!!
Doomed campaign.
Ha, good luck with that
She will lose.
According to social media sites voters are angry that she voted to let a kavanaugh on the SCOTUS despite being a sexual batterer and will not re-elect her but then republicans obviously embrace child molesters and rapists.
Where do I send $ to her opponent?
