Why is the media focusing on Collins and not Graham over SCOTUS pick?

Both senators have said that they will not support a SCOTUS pick who may overturn Roe V Wade? Graham has said that the SCOTUS has reaffirmed the decision numerous times making it clear that the decision from 45 years ago is valid and clear. Period. Collins said that she does not want a SCOTUS pick who will overturn the decision about women's rights on this issue. Both senators can not be trusted (none of them can...do not fall for it). The media is focusing on Murkowski and Collins.
****************
"Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) asserted on Sunday that Roe v. Wade, the landmark Supreme Court case that legalized abortion nationwide, should not be overturned "unless there's a good reason."

In an interview airing on NBC's "Meet the Press," Graham said that the 1973 decision has been reaffirmed "in many different ways" in subsequent rulings, and that the precedent should be respected.

"You don’t overturn precedent unless there’s a good reason," Graham said.
