Maine voters will choose nominees for a House of Representatives seat that could be critical to determining which party wins the majority in November.
FILE - U.S. Rep. Jared Golden, D-Maine, speaks at a news conference, Nov. 1, 2022, at the Statehouse in Augusta, Maine. Golden, who is seeking reelection, will know his opponent after voters choose between Republicans Austin Theriault and Mike Soboleski in the Maine primary election on Tuesday, June 11, 2024. – Maine voters already cast their votes for president, but they’re back at it on Tuesday for the state primary election. This time, voters will choose two nominees who will vie for a U.S.
In the state legislature, Theriault represents a district on the northern tip of Maine in Fort Kent. In this year’s presidential primary, Trump received 87% of the vote, or 205 votes, in Fort Kent. But Trump also won dozens of small surrounding towns by overwhelming margins, a pattern that Theriault will hope to replicate to build a winning coalition in the primary.
Soboleski’s district includes Franklin, Somerset and Oxford counties. Dale Crafts, the Republican nominee in 2020, has backed Soboleski, as have multiple state legislators. The AP does not make projections and will declare a winner only when it’s determined there is no scenario that would allow the trailing candidates to close the gap. If a race has not been called, the AP will continue to cover any newsworthy developments, such as candidate concessions or declarations of victory. In doing so, the AP will make clear that it has not yet declared a winner and explain why.
