PORTLAND, Maine (AP) A couple hundred demonstrators went to Maine’s capital to rally around the message that it’s time to start opening the state back up amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Similar rallies have happened in New Hampshire, Michigan, Ohio and elsewhere. Participants included gun rights activists, opponents of stay-at-home orders and fans of Republican President Donald Trump.
Maine’s event Monday was organized by Republican State Rep. Chris Johansen, of Aroostook County.
