My Take
I find Susan Collins genuinely interesting as a study in political endurance. Born in tiny Caribou, Maine, she has held a Senate seat since 1997 and become the longest-serving Republican woman in that chamber, which takes more than luck; it takes a deep read of her state. You can disagree with her votes and still respect that kind of staying power. Her 2024 BBC 100 Women nod signals an influence that crosses borders. I'm always more impressed by the politician who keeps earning the same voters' trust over decades than by the one chasing the next news cycle. Persistence is its own talent.
