Today Explained producer Denise Guerra wanted to make a show about Susan Collins.
But Today Explained host Sean Ramaswaram was like...
Boring.
But then Denise said...
She's like a ninja.
Susan Collins is not Denise's beat, though, so we asked Alex Seitzwald from Maine's mid-coast villager.
He's writing about her race, which could decide the balance of the United States Senate.
Ninja would not be the first thing that comes to mind when I think about Susan Collins,
but actually pretty good comparison.
She's quiet.
She is flexible.
She's quick.
She can do things that seem impossible.
She's lasted a lot longer than any Republican.
In New England or a blue state like her.
Susan Collins is a ninja.
