Republicans are setting up “battle station” offices in swing districts around the country in an effort to maintain control of the U.S. House of Representatives. A new office is set to open at the Auburn Mall in Maine, with a ceremony planned for next week featuring U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson. Johnson will be promoting the GOP candidate for Maine’s 2nd Congressional District, Austin Theriault. Theriault is looking to unseat three-term Democrat Jared Golden. The office will serve as a hub for volunteers to make calls, send cards, and engage in campaign activities to support Trump and Theriault. The district has twice voted for Trump in presidential elections, making it a key battleground. Both parties are investing heavily in the race, with Golden seen as a Democrat willing to break from party leadership. The event with Johnson is open to the public and aims to rally support for the GOP candidate. The office is strategically located in the mall to attract foot traffic and engage with potential voters. Overall, the Republican effort in swing districts like Auburn is a crucial part of the party’s strategy to maintain their majority in the House of Representatives.
