Collins distances herself from Trump in first Maine Senate debate
Original: In first Maine Senate debate, Collins seeks to distance herself from Trump
Senator Susan Collins of Maine used the state's first Senate debate to distance herself from President Donald Trump, a posture she has taken before in her politically divided home state. The debate marks the opening of a competitive race, and commentary is focusing on how Collins balances her Republican identity with Maine's shifting electorate.
Why now: The first debate of a closely watched Senate race is drawing attention to Collins's strategy of separating herself from Trump.
