Defying Trump ended some Republicans’ careers. It could help Susan Collins win reelection in Maine

President Donald Trump endorsed Senator Susan Collins for her reelection bid in Maine against Democratic nominee Graham Platner. During a White House event, Trump described Collins as a sane woman. While some Republicans faced career setbacks for defying Trump, Collins often maintains her popularity by keeping a distance from the president. Despite their checkered relationship, the president's support comes as Collins seeks to secure her seat in the upcoming election against her embattled opponent.
