Donald Trump has announced that he will nominate MAGA loyalist Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) to serve as Attorney General for his administration despite an ongoing ethics investigation. Senator Susan Collins said that she was “shocked” by the news.
Maine Democratic Party Chair Bev Uhlenhake released the following statement:
“For nearly ten years Susan Collins has been “shocked”, “appalled”, and “disappointed” by the leader of her own Party, while failing to stand up to or speak out against him to the detriment of all Mainers.
“Since Senator Collins first voted against impeaching Donald Trump for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress, she has made it clear that whatever he says or does, she will not hold him accountable for his actions–a pattern that we saw repeated during the 2024 election, even after his attempted insurrection.
“Instead of sounding the alarm on Donald Trump’s unfitness to serve and inability to lead before the election, Susan is opting once again for quiet disapproval now that she has helped return him to the Oval Office through her lack of leadership and unwillingness to stand up for what is right and put country above Party.”
