Discuss the Maine senate race here.
Angus King said he will decide early next year whether to run for reelection.

Jared Golden seems the obvious choice to run to replace him should he would retire and he would likely win by a large margin. Similarly I expect King should he run to win rather comfortably.
Another democrat may have more of a race of their hands.
Why any Democrat would vote for a DINO like Jared Golden in a statewide Democratic primary in Maine is a mystery. No surprise that Republicans are already trying gaslight us into thinking that we need him to win statewide in Maine.
I think Golden would be a great nominee. He's a centrist yes, but Maine is a centrist state (Who's the other Senator from Maine again?). Golden knows how to win elections, and he'd be a reliable vote for all the important stuff in the Senate.
This man was also supposedly a reliable vote:
Manchin votes with Biden 89.1% of the time, having the highest net pro-Biden score given how conservative the state he represents is (according to 538) and w/o Manchin, McConnell would have been Maj Ldr from 2021-23.
Yes, a conservative like Manchin is tolerable from West Virginia, not from Maine.
