"A pivotal vote by longtime Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine pushed Kavanaugh over the finish line in 2018 after she famously said he considered Roe v. Wade 'settled law' — a comment that turned out to be wrong":

Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh takes on a starring role in Maine’s Senate race

In a time of war and rising prices, Democrats in Maine say another issue is motivating them in the Senate race: Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court confirmation eight years ago.

NBC News
Jesse Lee: "The three people on Earth who are the most responsible for overturning Roe and stripping women of the choice to control their owns bodies are:
Sen. Mitch McConnell,
Pres. Donald Trump, and
Sen. Susan Collins."

When asked about her pivotal vote to confirm Justice Kavanaugh, which led to millions women losing reproductive healthcare, Susan Collins walked away. She has no interest in facing accountability or in protecting the best interests of Mainers. #MESen
So, #MESEN question: now that the primaries are over, is it going to be just Platner and Collins on the ballot in November, or will there be any third party candidates or independents? Asking for #RCV purposes
Jesse Lee: "Sen. Susan Collins will have to answer for 6 years of being the 'deciding vote' and 'moderate rationalization' for Trump, and for overturning Roe."

Graham Platner won 75% of the vote because the smartest people in #Maine did not believe the lies that were told against him. He had a controversial tattoo, but he did not behave like a political extremist. Voters understood this. A woman accusing him worked for the extremist Heritage Foundation which was a source of #Project2025. Her claim was unbelievable. With Platner we have a great candidate who will be a great Senator!

Congratulations! GRAHAM PLATNER has won the Democratic nomination for ME-SEN! Let's get to work and defeat Susan Collins! #Maine #MESEN

Reminder: Susan Collins voted to advance the Big Beautiful Bill, and thanks to that decision, her constituents are losing access to critical food assistance. #MESen
Norm Ornstein: "The intense media focus on Graham Platner is understandable. He is an unknown in a crucial Senate race with a lot of baggage. Less understandable is the lack of coverage of Ken Paxton, whose sins are far worse. That it is 'old news' is no excuse. Most voters have no clue."
