Unions that have backed Susan Collins are undecided for 2020. Brett Kavanaugh is one reason.

PORTLAND, Maine — Some labor unions that helped U.S. Sen. Susan Collins win in 2014 say it’s too early to decide whether they’ll support her again in 2020 as her Democratic opponents courted workers over the Labor Day weekend. 

Collins, a Republican, was supported by several labor unions in her last re-election race. Her campaign touted the endorsements heavily, and they were notable because unions typically support Democrats, though her race was uncompetitive and she won with two-thirds of votes. 

Things could be different in 2020. Collins’ seat is expected the subject of one of the most expensive Senate campaigns of the 2020 cycle after her key October vote to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court. 

Democrats have used that vote to try to tie Collins — a pro-abortion rights Republican who voted against her party in 2017 to preserve the Affordable Care Act — to her more conservative colleagues on health care policy. But unions also took issue with his nomination.

um... yeah right.

Union workers with great jobs in an incredible economy are going to not vote because she voted for Kavanough...

Makes sense.

BIG BS.

Maine voted for LaPage and they would vote for President Trump.

She may be losing votes because of her resistance to President Trump’s policies.

IF SHE CAME OUT AS A STRONG SUPPORTER OF THE PRESIDENT...SHE WOULD WIN.

Well we have room for her “no” vote. After 2020, we won’t. We hope to have 50 votes after 2020. We have a tough map. Dems had a tough map in 2018 but they were able to minimize our gains.
