Democrats want to play it safe in Maine's white-hot Senate race by having Gov. Janet Mills enter the fray to unseat Republican Sen. Susan Collins, but this strategy may backfire as a crowded primary could make it harder for her to win the general election. The contest has been deemed one of the most competitive in the country, with multiple Democratic candidates vying for the seat. This could be a turning point in Collins' re-election efforts and potentially alter the dynamics of the Senate.
