Ahead of the second night of Trump’s chaos convention, where a Maine lobsterman is scheduled to speak, Maine Democratic Party Chair Kathleen Marra released the following statement:

“Trump’s failed trade war with China upended Maine’s vital lobster industry and turned hardworking lobstermen and women into collateral damage. He promised us better trade deals, but instead he instead got played by China, and Maine workers got the bill. Trump will attempt to paper over the damage his disastrous trade policies have inflicted tonight at his chaos convention, but Mainers won’t forget who’s responsible for throwing our lobster industry into turmoil.”
