Supreme Court vote shadows Susan Collins in Maine reelection race
Original: Supreme Court vote shadows Maine Sen. Susan Collins in her first race after abortion rights decision
Maine Senator Susan Collins is facing renewed scrutiny over her 2018 vote to confirm Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh as she campaigns for reelection, her first race since the court overturned federal abortion rights. The decision, which Collins said she believed would not threaten Roe v. Wade, has become a central line of attack from opponents who argue her vote enabled it.
Why now: Abortion rights have become a defining issue in the 2026 midterm races, putting Collins's pivotal Kavanaugh vote back in the spotlight.
