BANGOR, Maine—State Auditor Matt Dunlap has conceded the race in Maine’s Second Congressional District to former Gov. Paul LePage, returning a district that has repeatedly voted for President Donald Trump to the Republican fold.
Dunlap announced his concession on Nov. 5, soon after Maine’s Secretary of State announced the results of the first round in Maine’s ranked-choice system. Although those results showed that the former governor fell short of 50 percent of the vote, triggering a second round, they also indicated that he led the state auditor by more than 5,000 votes, seemingly placing a victory out of reach for the Democrat.
