Like, they serve on the same committee together and have been colleagues for years. A$$hole.

You think she’s going to vote no in Barrett? I don’t. She said she disagreed with the nomination and hearings occurring before the election, not that she will actually vote against her. Total Collins move IMO to express concern about that and then vote for her anyway. I guess we’ll see.
Not true. Whether she goes back on her word or not is a different issue, but she has come out and said that she would vote no for any candidate that was brought before the Senate before the election. She said this the week after Ginsburg passed.

A day after Ginsburg, 87, succumbed to cancer, Collins said Saturday that Ginsburg’s replacement should be nominated “by the President who is elected on November 3rd.” She said the Senate shouldn’t vote until after the election.
She told reporters Tuesday she’d oppose any Trump pick if the vote occurs before Election Day, not because of the nominee but out of fairness.

I think she'll be *allowed* to vote no in order to boost her electability chances. I agree she has no integrity.

Gah! Georgia! Imagine if Stacy Abrams had run. Jon Ossoff isn’t even that good of a candidate.
Former Vice President Joe Biden has pulled ahead of President Donald Trump in Georgia, and the candidates are statistically tied in Ohio, according to new Quinnipiac University polls of likely voters released on Wednesday.
The Georgia poll also shows Democratic challengers Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock leading against the Republican incumbents in the state’s races for U.S. Senate.

Texas should have gone blue 10 years ago. Finally, we have an election on hand in which the state's majority minority population is uniting behind one effort to vote a person out of office. The Texas GOP is panicked.

There are quite a few R incumbents that are about to go down

Why did the democrats spend so much money in this race? Is it because they have too much money? Or is there a chance to flip it there?
In the aftermath of his loss, Beto has continued to build a ground game in Texas. He says that it’s not as red as one might think, just has a disengaged electorate. Looks like they’re turning up to vote, so there is definitely a chance. There are also lots of competitive local races there, and that should also boost turnout.
Thank you. This is encouraging. Looking at its demography, Texas should be a blue state.
