Majority Forward Ad Targets Senator Susan Collins Over Policy Claims

Majority Forward released a television advertisement accusing Senator Susan Collins of supporting Medicaid cuts and unrestricted war funding for conflict against Iran.

The political group Majority Forward, which is linked to Chuck Schumer, launched a television advertisement targeting Senator Susan Collins. The ad features a physician from Skowhegan and alleges that Collins voted to decrease Medicaid funding and granted the president a "blank check" for war against Iran.

Fact-checkers and critics have disputed the claims made in the advertisement. Reports indicate that Collins actually voted against a bill containing Medicaid cuts to ensure the protection of funding for Maine. Additionally, critics note that the Senate has not voted to authorize military action against Iran. PolitiFact previously rated similar claims regarding Collins and Medicaid cuts as false.
