'I've begged Susan Collins to stand up to Trump,' one Maine resident said. 'I'm still waiting.'

Maine residents gathered at all six of Sen. Susan Collins' state offices on Tuesday to demand she support the impeachment and removal of Donald Trump, the Portland Press Herald reported.

In Portland, about 25 residents held a rally and then marched to Collins' office to submit written comments to the Republican senator.

"I've begged Susan Collins to stand up to Trump," Portland resident Sue Hawes told the Press Herald. "I'm still waiting."

Rallies organized by Mainers for Accountable Leadership were also held in Augusta, Bangor, Biddleford, Caribou, and Lewiston.

"We expect our House representatives to impeach when the full articles are drafted and we expect our Senators to convict," the organization wrote on its website.

The protests came less than a week after Collins and other Republican senators met with Trump at the White House. Politico reported that the meetings were a part of a White House outreach effort to potential "jurors" in a possible trial should the House of Representatives vote to impeach Trump.
