From the Daily Caller: Maine Gov. Janet Mills, a Democrat running to unseat Republican Sen. Susan Collins during the midterm elections, is under fire for supporting taxpayer-funded health care for illegal immigrants.
The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), Senate Republicans’ campaign arm, rolled out a new ad on Tuesday morning slamming the Maine Democrat for expanding health care for illegal migrants during her tenure as governor. The 30-second video, first shared with the Daily Caller News Foundation, comes as Republicans have argued that Democrats have shut down the government in part to provide free health care to illegal immigrants.
“In a world where Janet Mills were a U.S. Senator today, she’d join her Democrat allies and vote to shut down the government,” the ad’s narrator says. “All to fund health care for illegal immigrants.”
Under Mills’ leadership, Maine expanded Medicaid coverage, locally known as MaineCare, and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) to individuals under 21 and pregnant women regardless of immigration status in 2022.

Mills has not denied the charge, and even appeared to indirectly support it.
In a post on X Tuesday morning, she wrote, “Republicans in Congress are hurting families across the state because they’re choosing to shut down the government rather than extend the health care tax credits so many Maine people rely on.”
She did not clarify that illegal aliens should NOT receive the benefits.
