Senate Rejects Resolution To Block Trump Iran Strikes As Collins Faces Criticism

“Susan Collins once again sided with Donald Trump, voting against a war powers resolution and doubling down on her support for his unauthorized war with Iran,” the Maine Democratic Party said.

“Just weeks ago, Collins cast a key vote against legislation that would have stopped Trump from dragging the United States into war without congressional approval. Today, she did it again – refusing to hold Trump accountable and allowing continued U.S. military action without authorization from Congress,” Johnston said.

“And throughout it all, Collins has personally benefited. Since the conflict began, her household’s stock portfolio – including investments in gas and oil – has climbed, increasing by as much as $24,480,” she said.
