Sen. Susan Collins, a Republican from Maine, stated that she does not envision herself endorsing former President Donald Trump, even if he were to secure the Republican nomination.
However, according to The New York Times, Collins stated that she would not give her endorsement to former U.N. ambassador Nikki Haley.
"It is reassuring to hear that Nikki Haley is committed to staying," Collins remarked. "I believe that as more individuals become acquainted with her, especially considering that she seems to be the sole alternative to Donald Trump at the moment, their admiration for her will only grow."
Collins's remarks follow Trump's strong performance in the Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire primary. Several Republican lawmakers, such as Sen. John Cornyn of Texas and Sen. Deb Fischer of Nebraska, have quickly come forward to show their support for the former president after his victory in New Hampshire on Tuesday.
Haley remained determined to press forward in the race, undeterred by the results in New Hampshire and the increasing number of congressional endorsements for Trump.
