Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) announced on Tuesday she will run for reelection in 2026.
Collins posted a video to social media of her unboxing a pair of running shoes. “This is perfect for 2026, because I’m running,” she told viewers.
Her decision will reassure party leaders, as the seat is one of the most competitive in the country. And it comes despite opposition from President Donald Trump, who has often criticized Collins for bucking certain items on his agenda. Trump said last month she “should never be elected to office again.”
