Looking At 2026
Matt Gagnon discusses the significant political landscape of Maine in 2026, highlighting the open gubernatorial seat, where both parties and independents like Rick Bennett are vying for the position. The US Senate race, with Susan Collins seen as vulnerable by Democrats, is expected to be a costly and competitive primary and general election. Matt suggests that Janet Mills’ legacy is at stake, as her party’s support could indicate her success was circumstantial rather than inherent. The conversation also touches on other races, including the state legislature and CD2, and plans to discuss further with Phil Harriman.
