Dunlap’s Leading, and National Dems Keep Losing

March 11, 2026

National Democrats desperately tried (and failed) to get radical Matt Dunlap to “back off” from primarying Jared Golden. Now that he’s in the race, Democrats still can’t stop him, as new polling shows Dunlap leading the primary field.

Dunlap’s embrace of radicals like cop-hating, nazi-loving Graham Platner and defund-the-police crazy Betsy Sweet, and dangerous, pro-illegal immigration policies would be a disaster in this Trump-won district. 

“The proof is in the polling: Radical Democrat Matt Dunlap is surging in the primary, and national Democrats can’t stop him. Dunlap’s far-left agenda stands no chance in November, and Republicans will flip this seat red.” —  NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole
