Governor Mill s time to retire. You're 77 and you're going to start running for Senate. You might die before you even get to the election. Leave this to some people who have some insight. Not this old crap that's going on these old Republican s*** all these old Democrats are just old style Republicans. That's all they are. Then you asked her if she'd be willing to only serve one term. She's 77. We don't know if she'll make it to the election. This is insane. It's time for Democrats to go like and off of this crap. Get some people in there with some innovation, not stupidity and old tactics that never ever worked
We need leadership with a brains and experience. Not kids out of college or grandpa's who are ready to die!! We need real leaders.
she needs to drop out of the Maine senate primary, she way to f-ing old and establishment to win i the general election!
They're destroying the dept of education to keep american people dumb! They know republicans kids go to private schools .
I love it that she stood up to that bully. I kind of want to move to Maine now.
Disgusting Trump and MAGA VOTERS 💩💩💩💩💩💩
Now that's what I say " having balls"
"Having a backbone" Good for you Governor Mills.. ðŸ‘ðŸ»
It’s good that the state got funding. But women want to compete against only women in athletics.
Bravo!
Karma at its best!!
GOOD FOR YOU MY SISTER STAND UP TO THAT BULLY 💪ðŸ¾ðŸ‘ðŸ¾ðŸ‘ðŸ¾ðŸ‘ðŸ¾ðŸ‘ðŸ¾ðŸ™ðŸ¾ðŸ™ðŸ¾ðŸ™ðŸ¾
I wish I could vote for Governor Mills
Im glad she stood up to the Pedophile, I love this !
I’m 61, and this dynamo could run circles around me,… so this a NO brainer for me ✊ðŸ¼ðŸ’™ðŸ’ªðŸ¼
Too bad that all 50 governors wouldn’t stand up to Trump in a unified force regardless of party line. They are elected by the people,and should represent the people.
And T will blame the decision on a Rogue Left Lunatic Judge.
I donated to Graham from California. I believe it's time for younger folks. yes, Janet, you may have experience bc you're 77 but a 41 yr old veteran is more appealing. I am 58 and it's time we support the next generations of leaders. Either way. I will support candidates who can beat incompetent Senators.
He makes me sick
Wow. I felt the mood change with that question about age, but she gave a thoughtful and honest response. Tested, has the energy to serve, and has the knowhow and courage to do the job. Young people interested in politics is great, they seem to understand some things, but youth doesn't mean they know have brilliant workable ideas. Life experience counts. Learning from the flawed Internet isn't helpful. So much BS on the internet. The Senate really requires a skillful, brilliant, tough person to stand up to other senators and the administration. I would trust her to do that. Someone who has been a DA or a good attorney will do well in the Senate because there is a lot of lawyering involved – more so in the Senate than in the House of Reps.
That is one strong woman. Susan Collins is wishy-washy and claims to be a moderate, and has on occasion went against the party, but not on some very key issues. Susan Collins s/b replaced by this former governor.
GOVERNOR MILLS OF MAINE, A LEADER WHO KNOWS HOW TO STAND UP TO THAT YOUR ASS HOLINESS TRUMP.
THANK YOU GOVERNOR MILLS.
Senior Mainer here. Glad she stepped up but personally I wish she wasn't running for senate and instead support Graham Platner. Janet Mills would be oldest freshman senator ever and she barely won her election. I think it is a mistake and so do a lot of Mainers. Graham is strong and awesome!!!!! We need younger leadership and sad she is not supporting them but undermining them
I think this Maine Governor Mills will be a MAJOR ASSET to the SJC!! She is INTELLIGENT & can hold her own!! We need SMART EDUCATED & NO NONSENSE women in there!!
She don't take no shit from that Trump guy.
Just look at that Trump guy sitting there smelling like shit.
IMPRESSIVE !
I'm originally from the State of Maine , I've lived in Paris France from 1973 until 1994
Then Moved Back to Manhattan , New York City where I Studied Dance at Adelphi University and The Juilliard School at Lincoln Center …
My Family all Live in Maine and even though I live in NYC
My heart still belongs to Maine and all it's Citizens …
It's way past due to send Susan Collins her pink slip and have her back in Maine as a private citizen far away from Washington DC and Politics in general !
Collins voted for Brett Kavanaugh to be a member of The Supremee Court … I lost all respect for her after that … Now the BBB ( Big Beautiful Bill ) She voted 🗳 for that horrible Bill …
Most of her Voting over the past 12 years
Has been Not in the Interest of the American People and Surely Not the People of the Great State of
Maine … Collins has no Courage to Stand up for her Constituents … She Cowers in Fear and votes to Please Trump …
Janet Mills will Fight for the American People including the Citizens of Maine !
She will Stand up to
Donald Trump and his Tyrannical Administration
Boy , she's Smart …
Experienced and What she will be able to accomplish in one 6 year term will amaze us all …
Vote Blue in Maine and All across our Great Nation !!!
NO KINGS
NO TYRANTS
NO DICTATORS
NO AUTHORITARIANS

Thank you, Governor MILLS.
TRUMP IS NOT THE LAW. HE'S NOT ABOVE THE LAW. TRUMP IS AN UNFAIR, PREJUDICED, AND DISPICABLE EXCUSE FOR A HUMAN BEING!
TRUMP IS SUCH A BRAT!
Susan Collins does not deserve all that money shes stolen over the decades! Make her return every cent, she's a crook!
Love Maine! â¤
I already am
Not impressed with your Senate run.
Yes we do
Exactly
So Trump not doing his job means he isn't really the President? Right? 😂
Trump is a pathetic bully
