He lacks the temperament, the judgment and the self-restraint to be our president.

Donald Trump, in my judgment, would make a perilous world even more dangerous.

I have a lot of concerns about Hillary Clinton and I am not going to support her.

if Republican values are important to you, if the history of the Republican Party is important to you, that you can't in good conscience vote for Donald Trump, that he's shown himself to be unfit and lacking in temperament and other lines…

Susan Collins is becoming the first Republican senator to say explicitly she will not vote for Donald Trump. She says Mr. Trump lacks the temperament, self-discipline and judgment required to be president.

Last month, the entire Maine congressional delegation sent you a letter regarding the VA's incredibly flawed administration of the Choice Program in our State.

I rise to introduce the Enewetak Atoll Cleanup Veterans Registry and Study Act of 2016. I am pleased to be joined by my colleague from Maine, Senator King, in this initiative. Our bill would address an issue important to veterans…

today I wish to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Allagash Wilderness Waterway in northern Maine. This 92-mile stretch of lake, shore, and river is a shining example of the dedication of the people of Maine to protect and preserve…

Donald Trump was not my second choice. He was not my third choice. And I'm going to see what happens at the convention. It is going to be very important to me whom Donald Trump chooses as his running mate. And that is arguably the most…

Senator Alexander and Senator Murray, who are the authors of this rewrite of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, are still here. They know what their intent is.

To me it's obvious in the law what is required, so I hope you'll take a look.

During the reauthorization process, I worked with the junior Senator from Vermont and others to develop and improve an innovative assessment pilot program.

This pilot will allow States to create their own assessments that can be imbedded with instruction and assess deeper knowledge.

I started off by pointing out that I was Collins, I am Collins, I'm still around, and I know what my intent is.

I rise to call up amendment No. 4858. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The amendment is pending.

this amendment is unusual when we are debating issues such as terrorist watch lists and the appropriate restrictions that are needed--desperately needed--to ensure that people who are suspected or known terrorists are not able to purchase…
