Health care clash in #MESen debate.

Gideon knocks Collins for being on all sides of the issue—voting against ACA then voting for repeal under Obama then voting against repeal under Trump.

Collins criticizes Gideon for backing a public option, says it’ll lower hospital payments.

Sara Gideon says she supports Joe Biden for president and challenges Susan Collins to say who she favors.

Collins dodges.

“I don’t think that the people of Maine need my advice on whom to support for president.”

(The senator has not said who she intends to vote for this fall.)

Susan Collins talked a lot about co-authoring the PPP program at tonight’s Maine Senate debate, taking credit for saving jobs in Maine during the pandemic.

“I just want to be very clear: I do not support defunding the police,” says Sara Gideon, Democratic Senate candidate in Maine.

Susan Collins dodges two questions about whether she supports a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United.

Sara Gideon, asked the same question, says yes, she support that.
