Matt Gagnon discussed the Maine Senate’s 18-16 rejection of a bill to leave the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, which currently includes 18 states and 209 electoral votes. Governor Janet Mills allowed the bill to become law without her signature, a move Gagnon criticized as gutless. He argued that both parties benefit from the current system, with Republicans seeing the Electoral College as advantageous and Democrats supporting a national popular vote. Gagnon also compared the national popular vote debate to ranked choice voting, noting that each system benefits the party in power. A caller suggested that Democrats have been overconfident in their majority, which could backfire if their control weakens.
