As her re-election campaign struggles, Senator Collins continues to shift goalposts and try anything possible to reframe her record of having supported Donald Trump 94% of the time – despite using the same source to attack one of her past opponents’ record.
Senator Collins claims that criticisms of her record of having voted with Trump 94% of the time are “completely wrong” and a “mistake.” But what she’s not telling Mainers is that she used the same statistic from the same source to attack Joe Brennan when she first ran for Senate 24 years ago.
Here’s the truth: according to CQ, Senator Collins has voted with Donald Trump 94% of the time.
Senator Collins’ voting record with Donald Trump from CQ Roll Call.
Senator Collins has been a consistent vote for Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell’s agenda, voting to confirm every single judicial nominee in the first two years of his presidency and casting pivotal votes for the GOP tax bill and to confirm Brett Kavanaugh.
“It’s clear that Senator Collins is willing to do anything to stay in Washington, including being dishonest with Mainers to distract from her record of having voted with Donald Trump 94% of the time,” said Maine Democratic Party Chair Kathleen Mara. “This flip-flop is yet another example of how Senator Collins is willing to twist the facts to benefit herself no matter what – and Mainers have had enough. On November 3rd, voters will elect a senator who will put us first.”
