FILE — In this Wednesday, Dec. 5, 2018, file photo Sara Gideon, D-Freeport, arrives in the House Chamber after being reelected Speaker of the House, at the State House, in Augusta, Maine.

But so far, no big-name Democrats have formally announced they'll challenge Collins, in 2020. Gideon is among Democrats who've stated interest in running for the seat. (AP Photo/Robert F.
