Susan Collins signals she won't campaign against Biden

Source: The Hill

Republican Sen. Susan Collins (Maine) said she will not campaign against former Vice President Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee.

Collins said in an interview with The New York Times that she does not campaign against former colleagues. Collins and and Biden served together in the Senate.

The New England senator said she knows Biden “very well” from their days serving in the upper chamber together and that she doesn’t plan to violate her own rule.

“I do not campaign against my colleagues in the Senate,” Collins told the Times.

I'm skeptical that she did not campaign against either of them.

"Will you campaign against tRump?"

Because if you won't, your morality and ethics and intellect are far too fucked up to ever be worthy of any office in this country--ESPECIALLY the one you now hold. If you won't, resign now, die, and burn in Hell.

I await your answer with great concern, Susie.
