Jared Golden couldn’t ask for better news! Except for geriatric MAGA Republicans, even the reddest parts of Maine have long since moved on from Paul "Flintstone" LePage.
When he was governor, I would often listen to interviews with him on NPR or other radio stations. Not once have I heard LePage utter three consecutive sentences without saying something reprehensible, deranged, incomprehensible or truly bizarre.
One less concern for not just ME-02 but the gubernatorial race coming up next year. As Janet Mills is termed out as Governor, this can complicate the GOP's chances at the state level in 2026.

ME-2: Former Governor Paul LePage is in.

I still wouldn't put it above them to elect him, but I tend to agree that he should be a good opponent for Golden.
