The Fight for
America’s Future has Kicked Off in Maine
Portland Press Herald
RNC Chairman Joe Gruters
June 10, 2026
In just a short amount of
time, President Trump and Republicans have helped put America back on the right
track.
But President Trump has made
something else very clear: the job is not finished.
[…]
Every single day, the RNC is
fighting to protect the movement President Trump built and to deliver victories
for the American people. And I can tell you firsthand, the Republican Party has
never been stronger.
Thanks to the support of
grassroots conservatives across the country and our Finance Chair Vice
President JD Vance, the RNC currently has over $123 million cash on hand
with zero debt.
[…]
The RNC is leading the fight
for election integrity nationwide and Maine has been at the center of
that fight. The RNC has partnered with the Maine Republican Party to push
back against efforts to expand ranked-choice voting in ways that undermine
voter confidence and transparency.
[…]
We are taking action because
Maine voters deserve fair, secure and transparent elections, not a system
manipulated by partisan Democrat officials and activists.

Just look at Democrat Graham
Platner — a self-professed communist who has openly attacked law
enforcement; smeared American service members; has an account on Kik,
a messaging app referred to as a “predator’s paradise”; and in reporting by the
New York Times faces allegations of domestic abuse. Platner’s rhetoric is
extreme, divisive and completely out of step with Maine values. Reports of his
disgusting behavior only add to the growing concerns about his judgment and
fitness for office. Democrats are struggling to defend him.
This is the choice facing
Maine voters: Republican Susan Collins, a proven fighter for Maine, who is
focused on safety, prosperity and commonsense, or a Democratic Party willing to
embrace extreme, out-of-touch candidates like Graham Platner to appease the far
left.
[…]
Republicans are going to
keep fighting to secure our elections and defend the values that make this
country great. But to finish the job, we must keep the House, win the Senate,
expand our majorities and win in November, starting in Maine.
