Sen. Susan Collins on Tuesday announced she would be voting to acquit President Donald Trump.


Following her speech, Collins spoke with reporters. According to Bloomberg reporter Steven Dennis, Collins said she would not be considering censure because it was not proposed earlier.

She also explained that she believes Trump has been reprimanded, even though the Senate is expected to vote to acquit on Wednesday.

Collins has been harshly criticized for her announcing she would not vote to hold Trump accountable.
