I'm sorry I misspoke I meant she is a no till after the election. But my question is if Biden is elected will she still vote for Trumps nominees as in her statement it seemed she said the next president should choose.

As expected. She has been saying this for some time now, before the death. That said, it's not clear whether she'll vote no or just not vote. And there is a big difference between the two in terms of the number of votes needed to confirm.
Unless you have some sort of hallucinatory form of dyslexia, or something along those lines, then you know very well that nowhere in this post by Senator Collins did she say she was voting no.
She states that she supports President Trump making a nomination and the Senate Judiciary Committee beginning the vetting process. She goes on to support the idea of waiting until after the election to hold the vote. But she does not say she will vote no on this nomination prior to the election, or even that she would abstain.
This appears to be a press release calculated for campaigning purposes in her state. She is clearly keeping her options wide open. That is actually very good news for the prospects of her ultimate support here.
I actually disagree. She's from Maine and in a tough reelection battle. Republicans in Maine are going to stick with her; this isn't like a situation in Arizona with Martha McSally where voting no would ensure her defeat while voting yes promises to energize the right. She relies on a independent voters to achieve victory every cycle. This move may not help her much with them but voting yes would certainly have hurt her with them.

Sally is toast no matter what and so is Collins.
