Collins Did Not ‘Support’ OBBBA’s Medicaid Cuts, as Democratic Ad Claims

Your article leaves out important context. She voted to move it out of committee, but ultimately voted no. Why did she vote no? Because the GOP had enough votes to pass it without her, which is the *only* time she ever votes against her party. Because she owes her great wealth to her comfortable seat in the senate, and her state is purple. She must give some concessions to pretending to care about the peasants so they will foolishly continue to reelect her.

Your explanation is disingenuous: her official vote was no, but she absolutely supported the OBBB or she wouldn’t have voted yes to move it to the senate floor.
