I'm sure the legislation is popular in Maine.

And reps a very old, insular and conservative Trump loving district.

Give him a break and we keep a Dem majority in the House.

This is so like the New Deal. Wait until the details start coming out. Or maybe the Representative
from Maine will try to stop the media from printing that?

A lot of times Congressmen in districts like this vote for or against bills only if assured that their vote won't impact the outcome.

...he wanted the minimum wage increase in there and when he didn't get it, he voted no.

I'll give him a pass.
