Susan Collins is lone GOP holdout
Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) remained the lone GOP holdout Thursday night in a push by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell to line up all 41 Republican senators behind a letter opposing the Democratic Wall Street reform bill.
The resistance from Collins slowed efforts by the Republican leadership to throw up a united front that would thwart a plan by Democrats to bring the financial regulatory bill to the floor as early as next week. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) needs support from at least one Republican to open debate on the bill.
