Collins ‘getting ready’ for 2020 run, splits shutdown blame
By PATRICK WHITTLE

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Sen. Susan Collins is “getting ready to run” for re-election, she said during a television appearance Sunday, but she reiterated that she won’t make a decision until the end of the year.
Collins, a moderate Republican from Maine who was first elected to the Senate in 1996, also said on NBC’s “Meet The Press” that she thinks Republicans and Democrats are both at fault for the government shutdown and that a compromise could be brokered soon.
Democrats and liberal groups have targeted Collins for her role in the confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh last year. A crowd-funded effort to boost her opponent in 2020 has received more than $3.7 million.
Collins has yet to make a firm commitment about whether she’s running for re-election. She told “Meet The Press” host Chuck Todd she would prefer to use this year to legislate rather than campaign.
