Susan Collins, who ran unopposed, is the only GOP senator representing a state carried in 2024 by then-Vice President Kamala Harris, making her perhaps Democrats’ top target in the 2026 midterms after years of winning blue-leaning Maine. Democrat Graham Platner took control of the Democratic primary months ago, with Maine Gov. Janet Mills opting to suspend her campaign.

Mayor-backed incumbent wins runoff for Newark City Council seat
After casting her ballot at the Greater Abyssinian Baptist Church, Adesuwa Oyelami said she voted for incumbent Patrick Council in Tuesday’s runoff election for Newark’s South Ward City Council seat in part because of the human touch Council brought to his campaign.
“He showed up at my door,” said Oyelami, a 38-year-old mother of two who moved to the South Ward’s Weequahic neighborhood from Queens, N.Y., five years ago. “He came off as down-to-earth. He seemed like the kind of guy you can talk to.”
