Sen. Susan Collins said that the Senate should not vote on the nomination of a new Supreme Court Justice before the Nov. 3 election
Sen. Susan Collins said on Saturday that the Senate should not vote on the nomination of a new Supreme Court Justice before the Nov. 3 election, arguing the nominee should be chosen by whoever wins the presidency.
Trump immediately panned Collins' remarks, telling reporters: “I totally disagree with her. We won.” Collins has also not said whether she'll support Trump's reelection. Collins was a key vote in the confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh , a vote that Democrats have seized on as they try to unseat the four-term senator. The Maine Republican faces the toughest race of her career. Recent polling has Collins trailing Gideon. A Quinnipiac poll had Collins down by 12 points while a Siena College and New York Times Upshot poll had her down by five points.
