U.S. Sen. Susan Collins isn’t going. She’ll be visiting her stepdaughter in Idaho.

It appears U.S. Rep. Bruce Poliquin won’t be there either. Poliquin declined Tuesday to say whether he was going.

However, no answer means a no-show “unless Poliquin plans to be a surprise guest” at Trump’s rally, said Jim Melcher, a political science professor at the University of Maine at Farmington.

Trump is counting on taking 1 electoral college vote from Maine's 2nd Congressional District (in northern Maine)

Why he is speaking in the" People's Republic of Portland" in southern Maine is a mystery to all of us up here.

Last time he spoke in Portland, protesters almost shut it down.
