Cue his shameless pivot on how to treat, and talk about, immigrants. There are, potentially, voters who don’t share his xenophobia but are nevertheless ripe for plucking from the Democratic coalition, given their anxiety about the state of the economy.

If LePage-already the de facto GOP nominee, with endorsements from the state party and Senator Susan Collins-wants to win in the general election, he needs to appeal to a significant number of moderates and younger voters. Eliot Cutler, a former attorney who served as the spoiler candidate in 20, was recently arrested on child pornography charges, and no one else of note has filed paperwork to enter the race. This time around, however, LePage-who won his 20 races when the field included a credible independent candidate, meaning he needed only a plurality of the vote to win-is going mano a mano against an incumbent Democratic governor, Janet Mills. And he gleefully urged Trump, as president, to be more “authoritarian.” 6 He refused to implement Medicaid expansion-despite 60 percent of Maine voters having favored it in a 2017 referendum-creating what Robyn Merrill, of Maine Equal Justice Partners, describes as a perverse situation in which the state’s political muscle was used to “roll back help to people.” Like Trump, LePage was infamously hostile to the press. He largely dismantled the state’s public health system. The ex-governor’s reactionary political résumé doesn’t end there.

I think Governor LePage either didn’t understand the implications this harmful practice had, or he did understand and agreed that LGBTQ people should be subject to this harmful practice. He was the first governor in the nation to veto legislation banning conversion therapy. And seemingly every day he’s trying to find the next thing by which to sow division and chaos. “LePage is not collaborative,” Fecteau says.
