Republican Sen Susan Collins says she's running for re-election

GOP Sen. Susan Collins of Maine has announced that she will seek re-election this year.

"GOOD NEWS! I am ALL-IN for 2026," she noted in a Tuesday post on X.

In a video, the lawmaker pulls a sneaker out of a box and quips, "This is perfect for 2026, because I'm running."

Collins was one of the seven Senate Republicans who voted to convict after the House impeached President Donald Trump in 2021. That Senate vote, which occurred after Trump had already left office, fell short of the threshold required for conviction.
