LePage Claims Victory in Maine Amid DEM TSUNAMI

Gov. Paul LePage (6211490208) | picked for: Paul LePage, candid

Paul LePage declared victory Wednesday afternoon at Sea Dog Brewing Company in Bangor, claiming the win over state auditor Matt Dunlap in Maine's 2nd District. The race hasn't been officially called, and about 10% of the vote is still outstanding, so the election office is doing what election offices do: taking its sweet time. LePage says public numbers had him up about 4,000 and insists there's “no path to victory for my opponent.” Y'all, I just have questions about a victory party before the count is done. Around my boutique, we call that getting ahead of the paperwork. The district went for Trump in 2016, 2020, and 2024, so if this is a Dem tsunami, it's a mighty small one that stopped at a brewery.
