Augusta, Maine – Susan Collins once again sided with Donald Trump, voting against a war powers resolution and doubling down on her support for his unauthorized war with Iran.
Just weeks ago, Collins cast a key vote against legislation that would have stopped Trump from dragging the United States into war without congressional approval. Today, she did it again – refusing to hold Trump accountable and allowing continued U.S. military action without authorization from Congress.
And throughout it all, Collins has personally benefited. Since the conflict began, her household’s stock portfolio – including investments in gas and oil – has climbed, increasing by as much as $24,480.
Maine Democratic Party spokesperson Kristi Johnston:
“Susan Collins had another chance to stand up for Mainers and stop this war – and once again she chose Donald Trump instead. While Mainers worry about rising gas prices, she’s cashing in and watching her stock portfolio skyrocket. This is who she is: siding with Trump when it counts, putting her own interests first, and leaving Mainers to pay the price.”
REMINDER:
- Collins votes with Trump 96% of the time.
- Collins serves as a “regular deciding vote” on “important Republican policies” and nominations.
- Collins greenlit Medicaid cuts that are forcing 61,000 Mainers to lose their health care coverage and number of rural Maine hospitals to shut down.
