Democrats poised to maintain control of Maine Legislature
Democrats are poised to maintain their trifecta of power between the governor’s office and both chambers in the 132nd Maine Legislature.
Every race has not yet been called by The Associated Press but enough to confirm Democratic control of the Maine Senate.
The Maine House Democratic Campaign Committee said Thursday morning it was still waiting on one race to be called to confirm a majority in the lower chamber. Results collected by the House committee as well as its counterpart in the Senate show at least a 76- to 72-seat majority in the House and a 20- to 13-seat majority in the Senate.
If these results bear out, even with some possible recounts, it means Democrats in Maine have successfully bucked a national trend this election cycle of Republicans gaining control of state legislatures.
