US EditionPresident Trump Endorses Paul LePage for Maine's Second Congressional District
Paul LePage is the leading GOP candidate for Maine’s 2nd District after endorsements from Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson, following Jared Golden’s exit.
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump endorsed Paul LePage on Truth Social, writing `Paul LePage will be a tremendous Congressman`.
- The open seat follows Rep. Jared Golden's November announcement not to run, making Paul LePage the prohibitive favorite in Maine's Republican-leaning 2nd Congressional District, which voted for Trump in all three elections.
- Long aligned with Donald Trump, Paul LePage has styled himself as an early Trump ally and incurred a $22,000 state bill for stays at the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C.
- LePage welcomed the backing in a news release outlining priorities on jobs, wages, high prices and removing criminal illegal aliens, while no clear Democratic successor emerged after Rep. Jared Golden's exit.
- Previous strategy lessons may temper expectations for top-tier endorsements, as both Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson backed Austin Theriault last year but failed to unseat Jared Golden, while Matthew Dunlap remains a primary challenger.
