Paul LePage holds a commanding lead in the Republican primary for Maine’s 2nd Congressional District, scheduled for June 9, 2026, reflecting his established name recognition as a two-term former governor and the December 2025 endorsement from President Trump. James Clark, an Army veteran and political newcomer who filed in late November 2025, has drawn negligible support and appears unlikely to remain a viable contender on the ballot. Recent polling in the broader race underscores LePage’s strength among Republican voters, while the absence of other announced challengers has left the primary field uncontested in practice. Trader consensus assigns only slim odds of an upset, which would require unforeseen late developments such as a major scandal or health event in the final days before voting.
