Susan Collins’ PAC is under investigation for what the FBI calls a “massive scheme to illegally finance” her re-election bid.
The GOP uses her to pitch these things, because the media continues to allow her to pretend that she is a “moderate,” as if she is materially different.

“Leonard Leo, a central figure in the Brett Kavanaugh nomination, bought the Northeast Harbor mansion last fall. This month, it hosted a fundraiser for Sen. Susan Collins that drew protesters.”

In other words, Collins doesn’t “face an uphill battle with Mitch McConnell.”
McConnell knows what his caucus is doing, and she likely wouldn’t be doing it without his approval.
The media frames it as an internal “battle,” giving it credibility, just as the GOP expects it to.

It’s also worth calling out Collins’ changes on their merit.
This would incentivize the GOP to essentially filibuster committee staffing for 10 days, so they can choose their own staff.
They don’t seek bipartisan. They want it to devolve into yet another highly partisan circus.
