He's more likely to beat Collins than Mills' chances, and he'll likely be a fine senator.
People raising the specter of fascism against this guy tacitly deny the power of the human spirit to grow, learn and change.

Yes, there is a chance he is blatantly lying, and he will start quoting Hitler and Trump while standing atop Cadillac Mountain. It is far more likely he will try to represent the people of Maine as best he can.

And Warren and Sanders are no fools.

AI Overview

Kyrsten Sinema ran for the U.S. Senate in 2018 as a centrist, deliberately positioning herself as an independent-minded Democrat to win over moderate and Republican voters in Arizona. While she began her career as a progressive activist and state legislator, she rebranded as a pro-business, bipartisan moderate upon entering Congress in 2012.
