Susan Collins declines to rule out 2032 Senate run
Republican Senator Susan Collins has declined to rule out a run for reelection in 2032, despite a previous pledge in 1996 to serve only two terms. During a recent interview, the 73-year-old senator also addressed her health, noting that she manages a tremor with medication.
Collins is also facing scrutiny regarding her recent hiring of Wayne Erkkinen as a town chair in Greenville, following reports that Erkkinen is a former member of the far-right group Oath Keepers. Additionally, her stance on healthcare remains a point of political contention, specifically her arguments regarding the national debt and the affordability of universal healthcare.
