In Maine, Sen. Susan Collins emphasized her independence from Trump as she sparred with Democratic challenger Troy Jackson over the Iran war, healthcare cuts and a trade war with Canada. Down the East Coast in Georgia, Republican Rep. Mike Collins went on the offensive as he tried to turn the tables by attacking Sen. Jon Ossoff over his ties to a donor named in the Jeffrey Epstein files — an issue that has largely put Republicans on the defensive.
In another closely watched contest in Iowa, Republican Rep. Ashley Hinson and Democratic state Rep. Josh Turek made their case to voters Tuesday night for the state’s open Senate contest, squabbling over Trump’s foreign policy and which of the two candidates actually showed up for work.
