Maine Senate Race in Chaos | San Francisco News

Maine’s Democratic Senate race is in full chaos as a dozen candidates scramble to replace a withdrawn nominee amid explosive accusations, with less than three weeks to go before a high-stakes convention where delegates will pick their new standard-bearer. The race is accelerating faster than normal, forcing candidates to quickly rally support, fundraise, and appeal to both the progressive base of the ousted nominee and voters eager to defeat Republican Senator Susan Collins. In their first debate, they were forced to confront the legacy of the former nominee, while a recent ICE shooting in Maine has become a flashpoint, with candidates using it to push bold immigration stances — some even calling for the agency’s abolition — to stand out and connect with voters. With delegates set to be chosen this weekend, the outcome could reshape the entire November election. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
