Democratic Rep. Jared Golden of Maine opted to run for reelection rather than for governor or Senate, but that doesn’t mean he’ll avoid a difficult race next year.
The incumbent trails former Republican Gov. Paul LePage 43% to 48% in a matchup in Maine’s 2nd Congressional District, according to a new poll of likely voters from a Republican super PAC, Congressional Leadership Fund, first reported by NOTUS.
LePage, a two-term governor who left office in 2019, announced in May he would run for Congress in what will likely be one of the midterm elections’ most closely watched House races.
