Susan Collins says her vote isn’t likely to play well with Maine voters, whom the fourth-term Republican must face again in two years if she seeks reelection from a state that last backed a Republican presidential candidate in 1988.

Her position was on NBC’s as, “It’s important to believe women, until it’s time to stop.”
