Citing the proximity to Election Day — now just weeks away — she said in a Saturday: "In fairness to the American people, who will either be re-electing the President or selecting a new one, the decision on a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court should be made by the President who is elected on November 3rd."Collins, who's often a key vote in Senate battles, faces a tough reelection fight in Maine, as has her trailing challenger Sara Gideon, the Democratic state House speaker. Collins' 2018 vote in favor of President Trump's second Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh, has been a for Maine voters. Collins' statement follows a pledge Friday night from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., that "President Trump's nominee will receive a vote on the floor of the United States Senate."Trump has the GOP should select a new justice "without delay," while his opponent, Democratic nominee Joe Biden, has the Senate shouldn't take up the vacancy until after voters have expressed their choice in the election.
