Former UN Ambassador Susan Rice said on Twitter Friday that she may want to run for Senate in Maine, following Sen. Susan Collins’ (R-ME) announcement that she would support Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the Supreme Court.

Shortly after her first tweet, Rice clarified that she wasn’t announcing a bid, but that “Maine and America deserve better.”
Many thanks for the encourgement. I’m not making any announcements. Like so many Americans, I am deeply disappointed in Senator Collins’ vote for Kavanaugh. Maine and America deserve better. https://t.co/6oGFTFuO1Q

Hopefully will be a cake walk for her… Collins will retire rather than risk defeat.
The Crowdpac site funding Collins’ future opponent has crashed under load. It was at $2M+ the last time I was able to reach it.
They’ll Benghazi the shit out of you, Susan. But if you’re in, so is my contribution.
This great!
That is awesome! Would be a good candidate, and hopefully others toss their hats into the ring.
Now who is going to run for Gardner’s seat, against Earnst, and against Tillis.
P.s. The problem is Rice is not from Maine. But Stephen King is… see https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2015/04/21/the-scariest-thing-stephen-king-tweets-about-is-politics/?utm_term=.529ac1f5b0f6
Perhaps they can get him to run? Liv Tayler also went to school there as a kid (boarding school) perhaps get her to run.
