20. How did Sara Gideon lose, wonder

if it was racism against a brown-skinned woman.

Gideon was a solid 'mainstream Dem' candidate, the perfect 'soccer mom' type, who led in most of the polling.

Yet Maine went for washed up Collins while also voting for Biden on the same ticket. If they voted for Biden, then why not also Gideon.

Just seems as there could've been a Bradley effect to this race, in what is a blue but also very white state.
