Fighting to keep her decade-and-a-half Senate seat against Democrat Sara Gideon, Republican Senator Susan Collins is in the fight of her career. Collins won her last re-election by 37 points, but today, Gideon leads her by 5. Can she turn things around before it’s too late? Or will the Supreme Court fight about to erupt put an end to any hope she has?
In a new series, we’ll be focusing on the Senate battleground races that could determine which party controls the Senate next year, and the GOP Senators who are in for a rough six weeks.
