Senator Susan Collins says she disagrees with Maine’s Secretary of State Shenna Bellows in her decision to remove former President Donald Trump from the 2024 ballot; “Maine voters should decide,” Collins said in a message shared on X.
“Maine voters should decide who wins the election – not a Secretary of State chosen by the Legislature. The Secretary of State’s decision would deny thousands of Mainers the opportunity to vote for the candidate of their choice, and it should be overturned,” Collins posted.

The Maine GOP also released a statement blasting Bellows for her radical move.
“Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows, once named the most progressive Senate candidate in America, unilaterally threw Donald Trump off the ballot,” Maine GOP said in a statement.
“The Maine Republican Party has been fighting these backroom elites since they started their push to subvert democracy by tossing President Trump. Rest assured we’ll be fighting this in court — all the way to the Supreme Court if necessary. And we reserve our right as a private organization to use a caucus system if that’s what it takes to keep a Democrat Hack Secretary of State from infringing on the Rights of Maine voters.”
Maine is the second state to remove Trump from the 2024 ballot.
