Jared Golden Secures Re-Election in Maine's Tight House Race
TL;DR Summary
Democratic Rep. Jared Golden has won reelection in Maine's battleground House district against GOP state Rep. Austin Theriault, as projected by the Associated Press. Golden secured victory through a ranked-choice voting process, garnering 50.35% of the vote. The district, which was a Republican target after being won by Donald Trump in 2020, saw Theriault focus on issues like inflation and Golden's reversal on an assault weapons ban following mass shootings in Lewiston. Golden, a centrist, did not endorse Vice President Kamala Harris' presidential run.
