Susan Collins, a senator from \u2064Maine, plans to cast a write-in vote for former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley for president instead of voting for the\u2063 party’s\u2064 presumptive nominee<\/a>, former President Donald Trump. Collins expressed her support for\u2062 Haley in \u2064an interview with \u200ca\u2063 local CBS affiliate in Portland, Maine, stating\u2063 that she \u200cbelieves Haley would do a great job as president. Collins had \u2063publicly endorsed Haley earlier and\u200d stated \u2062that she\u200b believes she is\u2064 the\u2064 best candidate. This decision reflects Collins’ contentious \u2064relationship with\u200d Trump, as she previously\u200d voted to convict him during the impeachment trial. Collins and \u200cSenator Lisa Murkowski \u200dhad endorsed Haley in March, but Haley later exited the race. <\/p>\n
