Susan Collins

In Maine's tight Senate race, Republican incumbent Susan Collins and Democratic challenger Troy Jackson are both sharply criticizing the Trump administration's tariffs on Canadian goods, but they disagree over who bears responsibility for the economic damage and who can do more to fix it. Maine sends more than 40% of its exports to Canada, making the state uniquely vulnerable to the trade war that has driven up costs for lobster fishermen and trap manufacturers, with polls showing the economy is the top issue for voters.
