Republican senator Susan Collins says she will not vote for Trump

Sen Susan CollinsUS senator Susan Collins didn’t vote for her fellow Republican Donald Trump for president in 2016 or 2020 – and the third time will not be the charm.

The longtime moderate conservative from Maine told reporters on Friday that she intended to write in former South Carolina governor Nikki Haley’s name on the ballot in November. The move recalls 2016, when Collins said she wrote in then-US House speaker Paul Ryan for president over Trump, who won the White House before losing to Democratic rival Joe Biden in 2020.

Collins is the only New England Republican in Congress and the only Republican holding statewide office in Maine, where Trump has twice won an electoral vote. She said Friday that she is sticking with her endorsement of Haley despite the fact Haley will not be on the ballot.

Ethics Committee expands Matt Gaetz investigation as it looks into sexual misconduct, drug use allegations

Gaetz investigated Gaetz was also under investigation by the U.S. Justice Department for allegations that he had sex with a 17-year-old girl and paid for her to travel with him. The DOJ ended the investigation in February 2023 and did not bring charges against Gaetz.

The House Ethics Committee said on Tuesday that it is also dropping its investigation into a series of other allegations against Gaetz. It said it “will take no further action at this time on the allegations that he may have shared inappropriate images or videos on the House floor, misused state identification records, converted campaign funds to personal use, and/or accepted a bribe or improper gratuity

When reached for comment, Gaetz’s office directed USA TODAY to a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, from the congressman on Monday blaming former Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., for the investigation.

Gaetz led an effort to oust McCarthy from the speakership last fall. McCarthy resigned from Congress months later.

House Republicans vote to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress

House votes to hold AG in contemptHouse Republicans voted Wednesday to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress in a dramatic escalation of the GOP’s broader war against the Biden administration's Justice Department.

Rep. David Joyce, R-Ohio, was the only Republican lawmaker to break off from his party colleagues on Wednesday. In a statement after the vote, Joyce said, "As a former prosecutor, I cannot in good conscience support a resolution that would further politicize our judicial system to score political points."

Senate Republicans Block Bill Codifying Right To Contraception

Senate GOPSenate Republicans on Wednesday blocked legislation guaranteeing access to contraception, calling it unnecessary and accusing proponents of the bill of staging a political stunt ahead of the November elections.

Democrats brought the bill to the floor out of fear that reproductive rights will be further threatened after the Supreme Court overturned the nationwide right to an abortion two years ago. Republican lawmakers in some states have proposed or discussed bills aimed at restricting certain types of contraception, specifically IUDs. Anti-abortion activists have also inaccurately characterized IUDs, emergency contraception and birth control pills as causing abortions.
