RNC Chair Joe Gruters: “She votes with the President, she votes for our leader. We need to do everything we can to support her”

Augusta, ME – Today, Vice President JD Vance will visit Maine for the first time since his visit in May where he gave Susan Collins a shoutout for “doing a great job.”

Ahead of Vance’s visit, Maine Democratic Party spokesperson Misha Linnehan released the following statement:

“Donald Trump and JD Vance’s failing agenda has made life harder for Mainers, and Susan Collins has been with them the whole way, as she voted with them 96% of the time. It’s no wonder J.D. Vance thinks she’s doing a ‘great job.’”
