Maine's Moderate GOP Senator Breaks with Trump on 2 Key Issues, Skipping VP Visit

Sen. Susan Collins of Maine has broken with former President Donald Trump on two key issues, and she will not be joining Vice President JD Vance on a stop in her home state as he campaigned for Republican candidates ahead of the midterms. Collins is seeking re-election in a blue-leaning state, but her moderate stance has made it difficult to align with Trump's positions. The move signals that Collins may remain loyal to her own party and values despite being a vulnerable GOP senator. Collins will instead focus on her own re-election campaign.
