Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) said Tuesday that she is “not prepared” to endorse President Donald Trump for reelection 2020, and that she’ll see what happens between now and then.
“I’m really focused on my own campaign for 2020, and I really haven’t focused on the presidential campaign,” she told PBS’ Judy Woodruff, referring to her upcoming reelection fight. “So, I’m not prepared at this point to make that decision.”
“I’m going to have to see what happens between now and then and look at what his record is,” she continued. “I can’t imagine that I would endorse any of the Democrats who are running right now, but I’m going to focus on 2020 in 2020.”
On supporting a Republican primary challenger, she added that she is neither “ruling it in or ruling it out.”
