Former Governor Paul LePage launches bid for third term [View all]
Former two-term Governor of Maine Paul LePage (R), who once declared he was "Donald Trump before Donald Trump became popular," announced that he is launching a campaign for a third term, AP reports.
Why it matters: The race may provide insight into Maine's appetite for a Trump ally in office. Trump won one electoral vote in Maine during the 2020 election, "underscoring his popularity" in rural parts of the state, per AP.

Maine's Constitution limits governors to two consecutive terms, but LePage, 72, is allowed to run again after sitting out a term.
He's been outspoken and critical of his successor, Gov. Janet Mills (D).
