Why blue-state Maine, a state that voted for Democrats within the final three presidential elections, retains electing Susan Collins is a thriller. Susan Collins has repeatedly sided with Republicans and forged decisive votes that helped advance Trump’s excessive agenda on the expense of Mainers. She will not be aligned with what Mainers need.
Maine Democratic Occasion spokesperson Kristi Johnston launched the next assertion:
“Susan Collins likes to brag about by no means lacking a vote, but it surely’s the votes she’s forged which have damage Mainers essentially the most. From overturning Roe v. Wade, greenlighting historic well being care cuts, or confirming controversial Trump cupboard members, Collins has been a dependable vote for the MAGA agenda and voted with Trump 96% of the time.
5 Votes Mainers Will Bear in mind:
Paving the best way for the overturning of Roe v. Wade
- Susan Collins forged decisive votes to substantiate Supreme Court docket Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch.
Greenlighting well being care cuts for 61,000 Mainers
Refusing to help extending Reasonably priced Care Act tax credit
Voting in opposition to the Ladies’s Well being Safety Act
- In 2022, Collins voted in opposition to the Ladies’s Well being Safety Act, laws that may have restored the protections of Roe v. Wade in federal regulation.
Persistently supporting Donald Trump’s excessive agenda
Collins is weak in her dealings with males. She believed Brett Kavanaugh when he promised her that Roe V Wade was protected by precedent. Collins will typically make a stand opposing a problem associated to Trump, then collapse—fairly a performer and manipulator in true Republican trend. Voting for Trump insurance policies 96% of the time proves she is MAGA. Mainers are smarter now than earlier than. Having watched Collins fake to oppose the far- proper agenda all through the Trump period, they’re onto her performative gestures of caring about fulfilling the wants of Mainers. She is a wealthy girl who has discovered that taking part in each side of the political narrative is self-enriching.
Help whoever runs in opposition to her and flip the Senate.
