Maine secretary of State drops out of Senate race

Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows and former CDC Director Nirav Shah both withdrew from the Democratic primary for the U.S. Senate on Sunday. Bellows exited the race shortly after her campaign announcement, citing Donald Trump's accelerating attacks on democracy. Shah dropped out after attempting to persuade delegates in Augusta, stating he could not accept the possibility of Susan Collins securing a sixth term while Maine families continue to face significant challenges.
