Daily Beast: “One of the most vulnerable Republican 2020 Senate incumbents is getting major air cover from a new super PAC designed to sound like a local group. But all signs point toward the involvement of the country’s biggest business lobby 500 miles away in Washington, D.C.”
“The group, a super PAC called 1820 PAC, has dropped about $700,000 on ads this year pressing for the re-election of Sen.
Susan Collins (R-ME), who is facing a tough fight in a race sure to be one of the most expensive of the cycle.
