Maine

With the House on the line, Democrats must defend Jared Golden’s House seat in the Second Congressional District. Additionally, while Maine votes blue on the presidential level, it offers Democrats a tremendous pickup opportunity on the path back to a Senate majority. Republican Senator Susan Collins is deeply unpopular due to her ties to Trump and her support for Brett Kavanaugh.
