Did Spanberger end up taking down Brat?
I live in Maine’s Second Congressional district, where Bruce Poliquin, the incumbent Republican, is struggling to keep his seat against state representative Jared Golden, a liberal former Marine.
The TV and radio ads were relentless, with the dems laying in to, and lying about, the Republican’s position on healthcare, pre-existing conditions, donations from insurance companies, etc.
I have public television muted and from time to time look at the screen. The dem was ahead by four points, now they are tied at 46% each with half of the precincts still to be tallied.
I think northern and western Maine will save this seat for the GOP.
PBS had Spanberger at 50% and Brat at 49%. I don’t know if the race has been called.
PBS has reported that Brat has lost. Damn.
