Tonight, a Rhode Island progressive group and an NYC progressive group are holding events calling Mainers to get them to vote for Sara Gideon.

It’s a perfect snapshot of the out-of-state support Gideon is receiving from groups that are extremely far to the left. #mepolitics

Since Maine’s primary, a tidal wave of out-of-state phone spam has hit Mainers on behalf of Gideon.

The groups making the calls are on the far left wing of the Democratic Party; they support initiatives like defunding the police.

Here’s a list. #mepolitics

It’s clear that these national progressive groups are backing the candidate they agree with: Sara Gideon.

And it’s clear Gideon is focused on her out-of-state supporters, not getting aid to Mainers dealing with COVID’s fallout. #mepolitics
