Senator Susan Collins of Maine, a prominent moderate Republican, has announced that she will not be voting for Donald Trump in the upcoming presidential election. Collins, who did not support Trump in 2016 or 2020, revealed that she plans to write in the name of former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley on the ballot in November. This decision mirrors her action in 2016 when she wrote in then-House Speaker Paul Ryan's name instead of voting for Trump.
Collins, the sole New England Republican in Congress and the only Republican holding statewide office in Maine, reiterated her endorsement of Haley despite Haley not being on the ballot. She expressed her confidence in Haley's capabilities and stated that Haley remains her preferred candidate.
