Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, pauses for a reporter as senators head to the chamber for a procedural vote on the nomination of Shalanda Young to be deputy director of the Office of Management and Budget, at the Capitol in Washington, March 23, 2021.

BANGOR, Maine — Maine Republicans in the county where Sen. Susan Collins was raised have delivered a rebuke over her vote to convict former President Donald Trump at his impeachment trial.

The resolution signed by GOP leaders in Aroostook County last weekend said they “vigorously condemn” the senator’s actions. It comes ahead of the Maine Republican Party’s Saturday meeting, when Collins could face a further rebuke.

Collins has said previously that she upheld her constitutional duty to render “impartial justice.”
