RATINGS CHANGE: Republicans Have the Big Mo’ in ME-02!

Serial flip-flopper Jared Golden took the hint, and finally called it quits on his ill-fated run for reelection.

Now, Republicans have the big mo’ and the non-partisan political pundits have moved this race toward the Republican Party:

• Sabato’s Crystal Ball: Lean R
• Inside Elections: Likely R
• Cook Political Report: Likely R 

And that’s no surprise. President Trump won this seat by nine points, and Republican Paul LePage was leading in three separate polls even before Golden dropped out.

“Serial flip-flopper Jared Golden dropped out of this race because he saw the writing on the wall: Mainers are sick and tired of his self-serving politics, and they’re ready to send a Republican to Washington next year.” —  NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole
