Media Bias Fact Check (MBFC) publishes daily vetted fact checks from verified IFCN-approved sources. Each claim is independently reviewed for accuracy and context.
Claimant: Troy Jackson (D)
Claim: When Sen. Susan Collins “had the chance to actually vote to stop Trump’s tariffs from driving up costs for Maine families and businesses, she voted NO.”
Rating: MOSTLY FALSE
Explanation: Collins did vote against one amendment that would have rescinded certain tariffs if they increased consumer costs. However, the claim omits four other votes in 2025 in which Collins joined Democrats in opposing Trump’s tariffs, making her overall record more mixed than Jackson suggested.
