In response to the Trump Campaign’s “Defend the Police” Rally in Maine today before the first night of the Democratic National Convention, Maine Democratic Party Chair Kathleen Marra released the following statement:

“Donald Trump’s campaign in Maine ought to take a break from dividing Mainers with Trump’s rhetoric and policies and watch the unified vision Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are putting forth for Maine tonight at the Democratic National Convention. Tonight, they’ll see folks just like Mainers who have been damaged by Trump’s presidency and his failed pandemic response, the small business owners wrecked by Trump’s COVID economy, and the industries - from lobstermen and women to loggers and farmers - hurt by Trump’s reckless trade war. Watching our convention would be far more valuable for explaining why Trump is losing in Maine than anything that will come out of this rally.”
