Senator Collins faces her first election since the Supreme Court’s 2022 decision overturning Roe v. Wade, which has led to abortion bans across large parts of the country. The ruling reshaped reproductive rights nationwide, placing the issue at the forefront of this year’s ballot. Voters will now weigh her stance on the landmark decision as she seeks re-election. The outcome could signal broader political shifts on one of the most divisive social policies in recent memory.
The Nov. 3 election will be the first time Collins is on the ballot since the Supreme Court's 2022 ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade, resulting in abortion being banned in much of the United States.
