Susan Collins faces criticism over her 2018 vote to confirm Brett Kavanaugh as she seeks reelection, while Democrat Troy Jackson makes abortion rights part of his campaign. Polling cited in the article suggests abortion may matter less to Maine voters than the economy.
Maine governor credited with enacting protections for abortion and gender-affirming care providers
ALSO MENTIONED Barack Obama, Former president identified as the nominating president for Sotomayor and Kagan; Brett Kavanaugh, Supreme Court justice whose confirmation vote and later role in the abortion ruling are central background to the race; Elena Kagan, Supreme Court justice cited as an example of a justice Collins voted to confirm; Sonia Sotomayor, Supreme Court justice cited as an example of a justice Collins voted to confirm
Susan Collins is seeking another Senate term against Troy Jackson, and her vote to confirm Brett Kavanaugh has become a campaign issue alongside abortion rights.
Left-leaning outlets foreground whether Jackson's focus on Collins's Kavanaugh vote will affect the race, while also noting debate over his abortion-rights record. Center outlets likewise treat the vote and abortion rights as campaign issues, but place them alongside voter disagreement and polling that suggests the economy may matter more.
