Maine’s senators backed a shutdown-preventing plan that failed, causing a partial government shutdown.
Maine’s U.S.
Senators Susan Collins and Angus King voted for a temporary spending plan to avoid a government shutdown, but it failed 55-45, falling short of the 60 votes needed.
King, typically aligned with Democrats, called his vote a “vote of conscience” to oppose President Trump’s threat to permanently fire federal workers during a shutdown, warning it would empower figures like Russell Vought and Stephen Miller to dismantle key programs.
The plan, backed by Democrats Catherine Cortez Masto and John Fetterman, and opposed by Republican Rand Paul, ultimately failed, triggering a partial government shutdown that disrupted federal services.
