Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine declared victory Wednesday in a race that further narrowed Democratic hopes of taking control of the upper chamber of Congress.
Collins told cheering supporters that she’d “just received a very gracious call” in which Sara Gideon, Democratic speaker of the Maine House of Representatives, conceded the race.
“I feel that this is an affirmation of the work that I am doing in Washington to fight hard every day … for the people of Maine,” Collins said, according to video posted online by The Hill.
Collins also said her win was “an honor that is historical, as well.”
“I am the first person, since Maine directly elected its senators, to win a fifth term,” she said while standing outdoors at a lectern in front of her campaign buses.
Collins should have been primaried!
While a RINO is better than a dumbocrat – she hasn’t helped much!
She is no good either & is just a Democrat SPY who
goes against her Republican Party & POTUS at every
turn !!!
Dems have a number of these types in the Republican
Party for when they need votes !!! Fact SPYS !!!
