| Maine senator Susan Collins, a moderate Republican, has so far refused to endorse her party’s presumptive presidential nominee, Donald Trump.

| In the interview, Collins said that Trump’s racialized criticism of the federal judge presiding over the multi-state fraud suit against Trump University was “an order of magnitude more serious” than previous controversial comments and positions, like his “poorly-thought-out policy plan about banning Muslims from entering this country.” | In the interview, Collins said that Trump’s racialized criticism of the federal judge presiding over the multi-state fraud suit against Trump University was “an order of magnitude more serious” than previous controversial comments and positions, like his “poorly-thought-out policy plan about banning Muslims from entering this country.” |
| While Collins didn’t seem to relish the opportunity to vote for her former senate colleague - “I do want to qualify that by saying it is unlikely that I would choose to vote for the Democratic candidate” - the senator told Lizza that this election is a choice between two deeply flawed candidates. “This is a difficult choice, and it’s one, like many of my colleagues, that I am struggling with,” Collins said. “It’s not like we have perfect candidates from whom to choose in this election.” | While Collins didn’t seem to relish the opportunity to vote for her former senate colleague - “I do want to qualify that by saying it is unlikely that I would choose to vote for the Democratic candidate” - the senator told Lizza that this election is a choice between two deeply flawed candidates. “This is a difficult choice, and it’s one, like many of my colleagues, that I am struggling with,” Collins said. “It’s not like we have perfect candidates from whom to choose in this election.” |
