U.S. Senate (Class 1)
Angus King (I) is up for re-election in 2024.
U.S. Senate (Class 2)
Susan Collins (R) is up for re-election in 2026.
U.S. House
District 1
Chellie Pingree (D-inc) vs. Ed Thelander (R)
District 2
Jared Golden (D-inc) vs. Bruce Poliquin (R), Tiffany Bond (I), Jordan Borrowman (I)
Analysis: Being one of the few districts won by Donald Trump and a Democrat in the House race, this Republican-trending district is a top priority for Republicans. Golden has a moderate voting record, but there are no major Democratic centers in this district. The environment is also unlikely to do Golden any favors.
Outlook: Lean Poliquin (Republican gain)
State Elections
Governor
Janet Mills (D-inc) vs. Paul LePage (R), Sam Hunkler
Analysis: Mills has an advantage as an incumbent, but Maine is still only slightly Democratic, and she will face significant headwinds from the national environment.
Outlook: Lean Mills (Democratic hold)
