Why this race
Senate control turns on a handful of seats every cycle, and Maine is one of them. Collins won by 8 in 2020, but the state has trended bluer since, and Platner is running the kind of populist, working-class campaign that travels well in rural Maine. Early dollars buy ad time before it gets scarce, fund field staff before the final sprint, and tell the national press this seat is live. Late money lands when the ad calendar is already locked — so giving now does more than giving in October.
