Matt Gagnon discussed Susan Collins’ recent vote against the rescission package, which aimed to pull back $9.4 billion in spending, including funds for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and the President’s PEPFAR program. Collins argued that the cuts were too vague. Gagnon noted that Collins, Murkowski, and McConnell voted against the measure, with JD Vance breaking the tie.

Gagnon also criticized Collins’ strategy of appealing to independent voters, arguing it is no longer effective.
