Maine
Gov. Janet Mills (D) faces former Governor Paul LePage (R) who returns to elective politics after previously serving eight years as the state’s chief executive. What began as a tight race appears to be less competitive now, and Gov. Mills is expected to win re-election.
The 2nd Congressional District is the most Republican seat in the country that sends a Democratic Representative to the House. Rep. Jared Golden (D-Lewiston) defeated then-Rep. Bruce Poliquin (R) through the Ranked Choice Voting system after the Republican had garnered the most votes in the actual election. The same could happen this time in the re-match between the two, but certain polls project Rep. Golden as positioned to win outright on Tuesday night.
