Senate Majority PAC, a Democratic super PAC supporting efforts to win a Senate majority, launched a $2 million advertising campaign in Maine targeting Senator Susan Collins (R-Maine) over the closure of about a dozen birthing centers. The ads argue that Collins helped advance the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) and thereby enabled Medicaid cuts, although she voted against the legislation’s final passage. Collins voted to advance an earlier version, later supported amendments to remove the Medicaid reductions, and says she opposed the bill specifically because of its Medicaid provisions. Her supporters say Vice President Vance’s tie-breaking vote would have advanced the bill even if Collins had voted against it at that stage, while the Medicaid cuts have not yet taken effect. Collins and MaineHealth say the maternity-care closures reflect longstanding low birth volumes, staffing shortages, reimbursement pressures and demographic challenges rather than legislation passed last year. The dispute adds to scrutiny of Collins as she seeks reelection against Democratic nominee Troy Jackson in a competitive race tracked by polling and prediction markets.
