Senator Susan Collins received an incredible amount of backlash following her vote to confirm Justice Brett Kavanaugh, including violent threats. The Senator also received some good news, including an incredible amount of donations to her campaign.

According to The Bangor Daily News:

After she delivered a pivotal vote that helped seat Brett Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court, Maine Sen. Susan Collins had the best fundraising quarter of her career, shattering her previous best with the help of a flood of out-of-state money.

After announcing her decision to vote in favor of Kavanaugh’s controversial nomination during a speech on the Senate floor in early October, Collins raised $1.8 million in the final quarter of 2018, according to documents filed with the Federal Election Commission on Wednesday.

Of the nearly $900,000 she received from individual donors who contributed more than $200 to her campaign, just $19,000 was from individuals with Maine addresses.

“We made an effort to have a strong quarter because we wanted to send the message that Senator Collins will be prepared to run a vigorous campaign in 2020,” said Amy Abbott, deputy treasurer of Collins’ campaign committee. “We focused our fundraising efforts nationally, which we typically do until the election year, which is why there were relatively fewer donations from Maine.”

The paper pointed out that over 60% of the total money raised by Senator Collins during 2018 came after her vote to confirm Justice Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.
