The reason he needs a new VP this time around is that he almost got his previous VP lynched. He’s a terrible leader. Luckily for him, there are plenty of terrible followers.

Do your job and vote Susan Collins out. I can’t believe that state thought Joe Biden was not too liberal but Susan Collins who lied about her view of pro-choice is considered mainstream for Maine

Maine, I like the cut of your jib.
It’s one of my possible retirement locations when I GTFO of FL after decades. I’d have left long ago but have had family obligations, job and my wife’s home business that make it tough to just move. Yep, doing the reverse of most retirees and you can suck it Trebek if you think its weird.
Hell after living here under Desantis it’ll be nuts to even have a semi-sane state government.

**2024 ME DEMOCRATIC ELECTION OVERVIEW:**
Maine is one of two states that allocates a Presidential Electoral vote to each of its US House Districts, and the rest of the Electoral votes to the overall result of the whole state. They have 4 Electoral votes in 2024, one each for their 2 US House seats, and 2 at large Electoral votes. The state overall tends to lean blue. There is a close US House race in ME-2 where incumbent Democrat **[Jared Golden](https://ballotpedia.org/Jared_Golden)** has a fight on his hands to defend his seat.
