Maine Democrat To Split Impeachment Vote

The Bangor Daily News reports:

Rep. Jared Golden (D-Maine) announced Tuesday that he will split his votes on the House’s articles of impeachment against President Trump, voting for the abuse of power article but against obstruction of Congress, according to the Bangor Daily News.

Golden, who voted in favor of the impeachment inquiry, has been under fire from state Republicans for the vote.

In 2018 Golden beat incumbent Bruce Poliquin in the first congressional election under the state’s ranked-choice voting system by about 3,000 votes after Poliquin led by about 2,000 on election night but fell short of an outright majority. His district went for Trump in 2016 by 10 points.
