One would think that donors who identify as Democrats or even consider themselves friendly to the party would recognize that defeating Collins is essential—particularly since Maine, where Kamala Harris defeated Donald Trump by 7 percent in 2024, gives Democrats a rare chance to flip a Republican Senate seat in 2026.
