Not in Maine she won’t. Politically-speaking, Maine is swinging towards MA. That’s why she’s swinging along with them. To ignore voter preferences is to court political oblivion. Trump will win fewer votes in ME than Collins. The only question is how many points lower Trump’s tally will be. IIRC, in 2016, there was no blue or purple state in which Trump won more votes than the GOP senate candidate, win or lose.
