Jessica Tarlov: Susan Collins ‘Has to Run Even Stronger Than She Did in 2020’

RUSH EXCERPT:

TARLOV: “So good for you. Listen, he was touting the fact that he came in second in this very big gubernatorial primary. He did make a mistake there with the record. Shenna Bellows made a mistake as well. I think she switched up the war powers vote for Venezuela instead of Iran or whatever it is. This was not a prime time showing at all. But there is a lot of energy right now in Maine, and it is blue energy in the democratic sense. Right now it’s a D plus 10 to D plus 14 environment. There is a reason that they are talking about the policies of grand plattner, because they were overwhelmingly popular with the primary electorate. So we’ll just get rid of the behavior. So Susan Collins in 2020 100%. I was one of those people who sent money to Sarah gideon and I was like, this is our time. And then went up in flames. Well, yeah, but it’s six years later. Susan Collins is six years older. She’s voted with Donald Trump 95% of the time."
