Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) said on Monday that she won’t co-sponsor the Senate’s resolution condemning the House impeachment investigation into President Donald Trump.
“I have been critical of the House not holding a vote to authorize the inquiry but the House determines its own procedures,” Collins told Politico. “Just as I don’t like it when House members try to tell us to abolish the filibuster, I’m not sure it’s productive for the Senate to try to dictate to the House how to conduct the inquiry.”
The Maine Republican said she hasn’t decided what her vote will be on the resolution.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), one of Trump’s strongest allies in the Senate, introduced the resolution on Thursday to send a “strong signal to our House colleagues that you’re off script here.”
She is still going to lose her re election campaign.
Hasn’t decided, won’t decide until the last few seconds then, of course, she won’t vote to impeach. She’s a chicken shit and I hope Maine can get a new senator.
Already giving herself an out… So the facts of the matter won’t matter…
Good.
I heard that a dog bit a man today as well.
Collins will not say anything until she’s forced to, all we will get is strategically slippery statements meant to keep her from pissing anyone off. In the end, she will choose what is most likely to benefit her most, whether that means keeping McConnell happy or trying to save her seat. The Senate will be far better off when she’s gone.
