@cspanofficial: Senator Susan Collins (R-ME) cited her vote against the confirmation of Secretary Pete Hegseth when asked about a vote against her party that changed the outcome during a Maine Senate debate on Thursday. "At one point, I had organized people to vote against Secretary Hegseth," she said. "As you undoubtedly have read, at the very last minute, one of our Republicans changed his mind. Otherwise he would've been defeated for that job." "So that didn't change the outcome," the moderator interrupted. The senator replied that the result would have changed if that Republican had not reconsidered, and claimed a news analysis found 56 instances in which her votes did change an outcome. #collins #maine #jackson #debate #cspan
