Maine Gov. Janet Mills’ bid for Senate reignites Democrats’ age debate

In many ways, Janet Mills is the ideal Democratic recruit to take on Republican Sen. Susan Collins, a fifth-term moderate with a track record of beating well-funded challengers. Mills is a two-term governor with a history of outperforming her party and a record of pushing back against President Donald Trump. But there’s one issue her detractors raise: She’s 77. If she beats the 72-year-old Collins next year, Mills would become the oldest freshman senator in history. #CNN #News
