Susan Collins (R-Maine) as she seeks reelection, though he told voters that he is sometimes frustrated with her.

The vice president was in the Pine Tree State to deliver remarks on the Trump administration s efforts to combat fraud, as he is the chair of a White House task force on combatting fraud in federal programs. Collins was in Washington, D.C., he said in explaining why his friend and former Senate colleague was not in attendance.

Sometimes I get frustrated with Susan Collins, Vance told the audience in Bangor, Maine. I almost wish that she was more partisan. But the thing I love about Susan is she is independent, because Maine is an independent state. And, frankly, if she was as partisan as I sometimes wish that she was, she would not be a good fit for the people of Maine.
