as Health and Human Services Secretary.
For Senator Collins, she's having trouble keeping some of those middle, moderate, especially independent, or potentially having trouble keeping some of those middle, moderate, independent voters who have supported her in the past just because of how different things are nationally and politically as well as here at Maine.
Yeah, no, it did seem like a pretty awkward moment for her.
I mean, this is one of the things with Senator Collins.
She is the chairwoman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, which, as you all know, is one of the most powerful committees in Congress because they control the federal purse strings.
This is a position that she's wanted for years and years to get, and she finally achieved it.
So it makes perfect sense for her to be
in the Oval Office for this bill-signing ceremony to sign a bunch of appropriations bills that she helped negotiate.
But kind of to your point, she looked rather awkward.
She was not holding America's back hat nearly as high as the others.
She didn't speak during the event.
And as soon as those images came out of
Senator Collins standing kind of far off to the left holding this hat.
Democrats instantly jumped on it and put out statements.
And Governor Mills said that Senator Collins has gone from clutching her pearls to clutching her MAGA hat.
And Graham Plattner said this is not what Maine people voted for.
Yeah, and I'll just add there, Senator Collins, in 2020, she campaigned on basically the prospect of her rising to this chairmanship of the Appropriations Committee, saying that's going to benefit Maine because I'm going to be able to bring all this additional federal money back to Maine.
She has been able to do that.
These most recent federal spending bills that passed contain more than $400 million for Maine, a relatively small state, that she has personally brought back through these congressional directed spending or earmarks.
So she's going to be able to campaign on that.
