House Speaker Mike Johnson is set to campaign for Austin Theriault in Maine


House Speaker Mike Johnson is set to support Republican Austin Theriault in his bid to unseat U.S. Rep. Jared Golden in Maine’s 2nd District. Theriault, backed by former President Donald Trump and Johnson, aims to win over conservative-leaning voters who have supported Golden in the past. Johnson will visit the Auburn Mall for a campaign office opening, marking the first visit by a major national figure to the district.

Golden, a centrist Democrat, faces criticism from Theriault’s camp for his stance on immigration and alleged flip-flopping on endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris. The race is one of 30 competitive House campaigns, with Decision Desk HQ giving Golden a 67 percent chance of victory, placing the seat in the “lean Democratic” column.

The 2nd District, which Trump won twice, has trended Republican in recent years, but Golden has demonstrated his strength by outpolling Trump in the past election. Theriault’s campaign focuses on highlighting differences with Golden on immigration and portraying him as swayed by national figures.

With political tensions high and the race heating up, the outcome of the Golden-Theriault contest remains uncertain. Johnson’s visit underscores the national interest in this crucial House race, and the event at the Auburn Mall is expected to draw significant attention from both supporters and critics of the candidates.
