Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) said on Sunday that it is "very unlikely" she would support former President Trump should he run for reelection in 2024.
"Certainly, it's not likely, given the many other qualified candidates that we have that have expressed interest in running, so it's very unlikely," Collins said on ABC's "This Week."
"We're a long ways from 2024, but let me say this. I do not think that President Trump should have made that pledge to do pardons. We should let the judicial process proceed," she added, referring Trump's suggestion during a rally in Texas on Saturday that he would consider pardoning those charged in connection with the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.
"If I run, and if I win, we will treat those people from Jan. 6 fairly," the former president said.
"And if it requires pardons, we will give them pardons," he added. "Because they are being treated so unfairly."
Collins noted during the ABC appearance that Jan. 6 was “a dark day in our history.”
