After 671 days of refusing to tell Mainers the truth about who she’s voting for, Senator Susan Collins is spending today in York County. More than 200 Mainers, including dozens of voters in York County have signed a letter calling for Senator Collins to give a straightforward answer about whether she’s voting for Trump — will she come clean today in York County?
Collins seems intent on concealing her presidential vote all the way through election day, but her record in the Senate is all the evidence Mainers need to see that she’s on team Trump:
-
According to CQ, Senator Collins has voted with Trump 94% of the time.
-
Trump has said he’s “100%” behind Collins’ campaign and has said he hopes “she does well.”
-
Senator Collins has consistently helped shield Trump from accountability, including voting a dozen times to block witnesses and evidence before she voted to acquit him on all charges in the Senate impeachment trial.
-
Senator Collins has been a critical vote for Trump’s priorities in the Senate, from backing the GOP tax giveaway to corporations and the wealthy to voting to confirm every single one of his judicial nominees in 2017 and 2018.
-
Maine GOP Chair Demi Kouzounas has confirmed Collins and Trump “both support each other.”
