Susan Collins says Trump made no effort to reach her over health care bill
Source: Bangor Daily News
President Donald Trump exhorted every Republican to vote yes on a health care overhaul when it comes before the Senate this week, but one of his party’s most vocal opponents of the bill, Sen. Susan Collins, said he had made no effort to reach her.
“The Democrats aren’t giving us one vote, so we need virtually every single vote from the Republicans, not easy to do,” Trump declared Monday in the White House, appearing with families he said had been harmed by Obamacare.
Hours later on Capitol Hill, Collins, one of a handful of Republican holdouts and the party’s most reliable moderate in the Senate, said she had not heard from Trump.
“I’ve had conversations with Vice President (Mike) Pence and Seema Verma and Reince Priebus has called me a few times, to discuss the bill, but the president understandably I think is focusing on others,” Collins said in an interview Monday evening with Reuters.
