Episode Details

Maine’s Senate race is heating up as one of the most expensive in history, with tens of millions pouring in as Democrat Graham Platner, the primary victor who even forced the governor to step aside, challenges GOP incumbent Susan Collins. Platner’s message of shaking up the establishment is gaining traction in polls, though many voters still don’t know him — a gap his team hopes to close before Election Day. Collins, a seasoned senator with a history of flipping Democratic-leaning votes, is countering with her record on Maine’s economy and positioning herself as an independent voice. But with Trump’s unpopularity potentially dampening GOP turnout and national Democrats framing the race as a referendum on Collins’s leadership, the outcome could hinge on who wins the attention — and the ad dollars — in this hyper-competitive, heavily funded showdown.
