Thanks for sharing the information. I didn’t know that history about Gideon.

What I understand is that the DSCC endorsing Gideon’s Senate campaign doomed the Democratic Party’s chances at winning the race. This is crazy considering she cut Collins’ margin of victory to single digits!

Angus King by contrast got re-elected in the 2024 Senate Race by nearly 18% points and happens to be an Independent Senator who caucuses with Democrats and is a reliable vote for the party. He’s also had a long history in Maine as he was Governor prior to being Senator.
