Most pretty much think she’s a vote for the Trump pick for the court…
Her vote and each Republican one for the judge IS critical….
But a new PPP poll casts some doubt on the wisdom of her giving a vote to confirm right now….
A majority of her voters back Maine seem to want her hold up on things…A close minority want her to vote against the guy….
Hmmmmm?
Could voting to support the President’;s pick endanger her seat in Congress?
Maine voters are less likely to support Republican Sen. Susan Collins for re-election if she votes to confirm President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, according to a new Public Policy Polling survey.
Why it matters: Collins is considered a crucial Republican swing vote for confirming Kavanaugh. She has parted ways with the GOP in the past (voting against EPA Adminstrator Scott Pruitt and Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, as well as the Republican health care bill), and she’s expressed concern with Kavanaugh’s position on reproductive rights.
Collins said today that Kavanaugh told her that he regarded Roe v. Wade as “settled law.”Roberts said the same thing in 2005.
Would be interesting if she did vote for the guy as expected and actually got defeated?
Just to clarify: Susan Collins is not up for re-election until 2020, although Angus King (as an independent) is up this November.
Yup on Collins….
The poll is just a snap shot of now….
WE KNOW she will vote to confirm….
