ME-SEN: Susan Collins Won't Say If She's Voting For Trump In 2020 Republican Primary

fter vowing not to vote for then-candidate Donald Trump in 2016, citing his “lack of self-restraint” and “unsuitablity for office,” Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) has taken a decidedly more restrained approach to his reelection bid in 2020.

The Maine senator, who is facing what’s shaping up to be the toughest reelection race of her career, wouldn’t say during a recent interview with a local TV news program whether she’s voting for Trump in her state’s upcoming primary.

Are you planning to vote in Tuesday’s primary and will you be supporting President Trump or writing in someone else as you did in 2016?” WCSH-TV anchor Pat Callaghan asked Collins during an interview on Friday.

Collins said she voted by absentee ballot ahead of Maine’s March 3 primary, but didn’t say whether she cast her ballot for Trump. The president is the only candidate listed on Maine’s Republican primary ballot this year, along with the option to write in another name.

Sick to death of Democrats pinning their hopes on her to break from Trumpists on this or that vote.

Hope she and her useless “concern” get pummeled in her re-election bid.
