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 Trump, aiming to reassure moderate voters in a state that has shifted toward Democrats. The move signals her effort to keep her seat in a closely watched race, with her positioning drawing attention from observers tracking how Republican candidates handle their ties to Trump.
Why now: The race could determine control of the Senate, making Collins's strategy closely watched.
