Janet Mills joined her state&#8217;s crowded Democratic Senate primary as the establishment favorite on Tuesday, aiming to flip Republican Sen. Susan Collins&#8217; seat in a pivotal midterm year.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats view the seat as one of their top pickup opportunities \u2014 the only in a state Kamala Harris won in 2024 \u2014 and Mills is among a few top-tier candidates Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer aggressively recruited to run this cycle. But first the term-limited governor must contend with a competitive primary against breakout candidate Graham Platner, an oyster farmer who announced he has more than $3 million in the bank and already received the endorsement of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.). <\/p>\n<p>Maine Beer Company owner Dan Kleban is also running for the nomination and his fundraising figures will be made public Wednesday, when federal filings are released.<\/p>\n<p>In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Z3GPw4kGsBs\" target=\"_blank\">her launch video<\/a>, Mills highlighted her recent fight with President Donald Trump over transgender sports and accused Collins of enabling him. &#8220;I won&#8217;t sit idly by while Maine people suffer and politicians like Susan Collins bend the knee as if this were normal,&#8221; Mills said.<\/p>\n<p>Despite initial hesitation, the governor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/live-updates\/2025\/09\/10\/congress\/mills-inches-closer-to-senate-run-00555083\" target=\"_blank\"><u>started interviewing staff<\/u><\/a> and telling local reporters she was seriously considering a bid last month. <\/p>\n<p>She addressed that long contemplation in her announcement, saying in the video, &#8220;Honestly, if this president and this Congress were doing things that were even remotely acceptable, I wouldn&#8217;t be running for the U.S. Senate.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The race sets up the latest generational clash for a party struggling to find its footing after losing the White House and both branches of Congress last year.<\/p>\n<p>Mills, who won her seat by wide margins in her last two races, is 77 years old, making her five years Collins&#8217; senior at a time when Americans are grappling with debates about the age of their politicians. If elected, she would be the oldest first-year senator ever. Platner is 41 and unlikely to leave the race for Mills; Kleban, who is 48, has so far dodged questions about what he would do if Mills jumped in.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats need to pick up four seats in order to win back control of the Senate, a difficult task that all but has to include a pickup in Maine, where Harris won by 7 points.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats poured millions of dollars into an ultimately-unsuccessful effort to unseat Collins in 2020 \u2014 but her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/f\/?id=00000195-cab4-d979-a3bd-febd3a950000\" target=\"_blank\"><u>declining popularity<\/u><\/a> in the bluing state is giving Democrats hope that next year\u2019s race could be their best chance yet.<\/p>\n<p>Republicans are eager to expose Mills&#8217; weaknesses, and have already targeted her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2025\/03\/02\/nx-s1-5310653\/maine-faces-federal-investigation-after-gov-janet-mills-tells-trump-see-you-in-court\" target=\"_blank\"><u>public fight Trump<\/u><\/a>, as well as her age.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maine Gov.
