en. Susan Collins (R-ME) discussed who among former President Donald Trump's 2024 GOP primary challengers she is considering getting behind on Thursday.
Collins has said for months that she does not intend to support Trump's 2024 bid for the Republican nomination, but it remains unclear how she'll vote in the general election should he be the party's candidate. Asked at a Punchbowl News event on Thursday morning if she was throwing her support behind any Republican in particular, the Maine senator named five declared candidates she was excited about.
"Well, we are very fortunate on the Republican side of the aisle to have outstanding candidates, [Sen.] Tim Scott [R-SC], [former South Carolina Gov.] Nikki Haley, [former New Jersey Gov.] Chris Christie," Collins told attendees. "The governor from North Dakota [Doug Burgum] seems very intriguing. I don't know him personally. I know the other three very well. [New Hampshire Gov.] Chris Sununu has taken himself out of the race, but [former Vice President] Mike Pence got in. Those are all candidates that I would happily support."

She’s another good argument as to why the 17th Amendment should be repealed!
The Republican party needs burned to the ground
Sadistic and opportunistic monster to announce this the day after the indictment.
Collins is getting into Feinstein territory.
She’s the best we can do. New England has 6 states-12 senators. 11 are rats. Do the math.
Wow, I expected her to announce support for Biden!
As if anyone cares who this traitorous bish is supporting. She’s just one more RINO who needs to be removed from office.
No one cares who she supports. He endorsement is completely irrelevant.
Can I say the C-Word on FR? I meant Communist, what were you thinking?
An IRRELEVANT political NOBODY who thinks she's SOMEBODY... just another case of SELF-IMPORTANCE rearing its ugly head.
Winner of the WGAF award
I still say it’s too bad the Dems don’t have splits and traitors (yes, yes one guy sometimes-—not a trend).
Maybe that freedom thing allows GOP to breed RINOs but the lockstep totalitarianism supported by the Dems causes all the more conformity among its eunuchs.
Doesn’t she work at Subway or something similar?
Her endorsement wouldn’t change anything, and I don’t care who she supports, but somebody did think she was important enough to ask, and somebody did think she was important enough to publish her answer, and some people did think she was important enough to post it here and comment on it.
Politicians are self-important people, but they do have people who go along with their belief in their own importance.
Bingo!!
But I was told the deep-state moderates were backing DeSantis!
Helpful - now I know who to never consider.
Mike Pence will get his long awaited reward. I don’t think it was coincidence that on the day after he announced his run, Trump was indicted. He will be the swamps darling.
