Susan Collins is vulnerable.

  John, this is huge: In a private meeting earlier this year, Senate Republicans revealed that they’re expecting to dump up to $600 million ALONE to defend Susan Collins in Maine. It’s clear: Maine is going to be one of the most competitive Senate races in 2026 — and we need to start …
