National Republicans are throwing their support behind Austin Theriault, a state lawmaker from Fort Kent, in his bid to challenge incumbent U.S. Rep. Jared Golden in Maine’s closely contested 2nd Congressional District race. Theriault, a former NASCAR driver, has gained endorsements from prominent Republican figures such as House Speaker Mike Johnson, House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, and House Republican Conference Chair Elise Stefanik. Stefanik expressed her support for Theriault, citing his understanding of the challenges faced by hardworking middle-class Americans in rural areas and his commitment to delivering real results. Theriault is currently competing against state Rep. Mike Soboleski in the Republican primary, with the winner set to face Golden in the general election. The race for the 2nd District seat is considered a toss-up according to The Cook Political Report. The primary, scheduled for June, will determine which candidate will represent the Republican Party in the 2024 general election.
