Susan Collins

Mitt Romney, Susan Collins and Ben Sasse have been outspoken about Trump's challenges to the election results, while most other Republican senators have not.

Collins had been tipped to lose her seat, with polls largely leaning against her in the run-up to the vote.

The Maine senator is only 1 point behind Democratic candidate Sara Gideon after her vote against Amy Coney Barrett's nomination.
