So far, there’s been little sign of bipartisan consensus to make big changes to Obamacare. Former U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu, a Louisiana Democrat, said on the floor of the Senate at the time that Republicans “failed to negotiate in good faith” on the ACA with the exception of Maine’s two senators, Olympia Snowe and Collins.

But with these disparities has come a growth in the size of Maine’s communities of color that positions these voters to have the potential to tip the scales in the Senate race this year for the first time ever. “But if you watch her votes, it’s been more and more following the party line...she’s not the person that Maine needs.” Indeed, her voting record aligns more closely with Donald Trump’s preferences than with those of any other president during her time in office. Gideon stopped short of endorsing Biden’s call to lower the age of eligibility for Medicare to 60. Grassroots community organizations led by communities of color are mobilizing their service delivery networks to register new voters. Competing in the Nov. 3 ranked-choice election are Collins, who is seeking a fifth six-year term as one of Maine’s two senators, Democrat Sara Gideon, the Maine House speaker, and independents Lisa Savage and Max Linn.

Ms Mills ran up sizeable margins in the state’s populous southern counties, while performing respectably in the more conservative north. Observers do not anticipate this election to continue that trend. Both independents in the Senate race said they want to see an end to the ACA. Political consultants who specialize in negative advertising are not articulating a positive vision of a multiracial society and appear to be pushing Collins to continue to oppose comprehensive immigration reform and stick by her nomination of arch-xenophobe Jeff Sessions as US Attorney General.
