Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) reached a remarkable milestone Thursday night, casting her 10,000th consecutive Senate vote and extending one of the longest voting streaks in congressional history. Collins voted “aye” on a Democratic motion to send the $70 billion budget reconciliation package back to the Judiciary Committee, prompting immediate applause from some colleagues. The moment also appeared to catch fellow Republicans off guard, with Sen. Roger Wicker reportedly expressing surprise at her vote. Collins, known for her independent streak, marked the historic achievement while continuing to play a pivotal role in key Senate debates and legislative battles.
