SHOT/CHASER: New Data Reveals That Susan Collins’ PPP Didn’t Provide Maine Businesses The Support They Needed

Despite having the second highest increase in unemployment nationwide, Maine received the second lowest share of PPP funds

SHOT: For months, Senator Susan Collins has claimed that the PPP has done its job, and argued that the data backs up her assertion that the program she wrote was a resounding success.

CHASER: New data released by S&P Global and analyzed by Axios has uncovered that the PPP failed to direct support to the states who needed it most--including Maine. Out of all fifty states, Maine ranked second highest for increases in unemployment, but it ranked second lowest for the share of PPP funds received by Maine businesses.
