Republican senator Susan Collins won a tough reelection campaign in Maine, beating out well-funded Democratic rival Sara Gideon on Tuesday.
One of the Democratic candidates on the receiving end of political contributions that earned Maine Democrat Sara Gideon a slap on the wrist from the state ethics commission is now in charge of a pro-abortion juggernaut that has spent six-figures in support of Gideon's Senate run, according to campaign disclosures. Democratic Senate candidate Sara Gideon's refusal to reopen the Maine state legislature has stalled efforts to amend the state's tax code to exempt federal COVID business loans from taxation. Without the amendments, small businesses might be forced to pay millions in taxes for participating in the Paycheck Protection Program. 
Maine Democratic Senate candidate Sara Gideon, who criticized President Donald Trump for not attending a second presidential debate, canceled her debate with her Republican rival Sen. Susan Collins at the last minute Tuesday. 
A trio of top Democratic Senate nominees dodged direct questions about whether they would support liberal proposals to pack the Supreme Court. Maine Senate Democratic candidate Sara Gideon’s campaign violated campaign finance law by illegally coordinating with a super PAC aligned with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.), according to a new ethics complaint.
