What Went Down During The June 14 Primary Elections

Buckle up — we should start getting Nevada results soon.

I think it’ll be competitive, Geoffrey. LePage, of course, won in the red-wave years of 2010 and 2014. In 2010, he got help because the Democratic vote was split, but in 2014 the evidence seems pretty clear that he would have won a head-to-head race too. A lot of people think of Maine as a blue state, but it has a FiveThirtyEight partisan lean of just D+4, and it’s quite elastic. I think Republicans have a decent shot at flipping not just the governor’s office, but the state Senate and state House as well, creating a possible Republican trifecta.

Nathaniel, you’re a New Englander — any thoughts on the Maine gubernatorial race between Democratic Gov. Janet Mills and former Gov. Paul LePage, the Republican who some (including himself, I think) called Trump before Trump?
