As I wrote about Collins yesterday in a message thread about Murkowski declaring that she'd vote for Barrett:

she's in a LOT of trouble right now, and the repukes have enough votes without her, so there's a chance that she'll get permission from Moscow Mitch to either abstain or vote NO in a frantic attempt to save her seat. People in Maine remember her Kavanaugh slap-in-the-face to them and her polling has been under 50% and falling.
