Senator Susan Collins of Maine was one of four Republican senators who initially voted against adding the SAVE America Act to legislation during a Senate vote-a-rama on June 5, 2026. The amendment failed 48–50, with Collins joining Murkowski, McConnell, and Tillis in opposing it alongside Democrats. Collins later switched her position to support a modified version, but by then the measure had already been defeated procedurally. The post's framing as "massive news" overstates what happened — while Collins's flip is noteworthy, it came after the vote had already failed, and the broader story involves multiple Republicans voting against the measure, not just a single dramatic reversal.
