After a brutal seven days, Senator Susan Collins spent this week hiding from Mainers and ignoring questions about whether she plans to vote for Trump. Instead of facing her constituents here in Maine, Collins could be found rubbing elbows at a Washington DC party. With less than three weeks to the Republican filing deadline and mere days until Maine’s presidential primary, time is running short for Collins to come clean to her constituents about where she stands.
Senator Collins has a long record of standing with President Trump:
1) According to CQ, Senator Collins voted with Donald Trump 94% of the time.
2) Senator Collins has been a key vote for Donald Trump on everything from the tax plan that gave corporations and the wealthy trillions in tax breaks to the confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh and every one of Trump’s judicial nominees in 2017 and 2018 -- even those “deemed unqualified by the American Bar Association.” She joined with Mitch McConnell to acquit Trump in the impeachment trial, after voting 12 times against including witnesses and evidence.
3) Donald Trump has said he's 100% behind Senator Collins' reelection.
4) Staffers for the president’s reelection campaign “worked to get her on the ballot” by collecting signatures door-to-door and at Trump events.
Collins must tell Mainers the whole truth: Will she vote to reelect Trump?
