Senator Susan Collins of Maine, considered a
"moderate" Republican who often opposes President Donald Trump and
her party's conservative majority, faces what could be her toughest reelection
bid yet, as she seeks a sixth term.
According to a local news report, Collins will face at least
three primary challengers: Carmen Calabrese of Kennebunkport and Daniel
Smeriglio of Frenchville, both Republicans, and Phillip Rench of Waterboro, a
member of the Maine Space Corporation board of directors and owner of Ossipee
Hill Farm and Observatory, who filed as an independent.
Other candidates could still emerge. And as Democrats look
to make inroads in the House and Senate next year, her seat is one the
opposition will be targeting, the Maine Morning Star reported.
