While Trump Goes Big in Dallas, Collins Goes Small in Maine to Save Her Seat

In a strategic move to distance herself from President Trump, Senator Susan Collins chose a low-profile approach in Maine while Trump made a high-profile appearance in Dallas for his convention. Collins, the only Republican seeking re-election in a state Trump lost, avoided any association with his event, signaling her efforts to preserve her political standing amid his declining popularity. This move highlights the broader challenges faced by Republicans in swing states as they navigate Trump’s influence and its potential impact on their electoral prospects.
