US EditionTrump Says Republicans Should Vote ‘the Exact Opposite’ of Susan Collins
MAINE, UNITED STATES, AUG 1 – Trump urged Republican senators to oppose Susan Collins due to her votes against key legislation and nominees, including a $9 billion foreign aid cut, sparking intra-party tensions.
- In a late Thursday post on Truth Social, President Donald Trump urged Republicans to take positions directly contrary to those of Senator Susan Collins.
- Trump's message followed Collins's opposition to key legislation, including his 'big, beautiful bill' and a recissions package cutting $9 billion in foreign aid.
- Trump demanded the Senate remain in session without recess to confirm all his nominees before the August 4–September 1 recess to 'save our Country from the Lunatic Left.'
- Collins, chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, defended voting to acquit Trump at his first impeachment and warned proposed policies will raise Maine's cost of living.
- Trump's public rebuke points to a potentially competitive 2026 race in Maine, with Collins yet to announce if she will seek reelection amid Democratic targeting and internal GOP discussions.
