Jared Golden of Maine will not run for reelection next year, he announced Wednesday, a move that could complicate Democrats&#8217; efforts to win a House majority.<\/p>\n<p>Golden&#8217;s district \u2014 which covers northern Maine \u2014 is expected to be one of the most closely contested House seats in next year&#8217;s midterm elections. Last year, it was <a href=\"https:\/\/centerforpolitics.org\/crystalball\/the-2024-crossover-house-seats-overall-number-remains-low-with-few-harris-district-republicans\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">one of just 13<\/a> Democratic districts where a Democrat won the House race but President Trump won at the top of the ticket. It&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nrcc.org\/2025\/03\/17\/nrcc-targets-26-offensive-seats-to-expand-house-majority\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">one of 26<\/a> seats that the House GOP&#8217;s campaign arm plans on targeting next year as Republicans aim to hold onto their narrow majority in the lower chamber.<\/p>\n<p>Golden is known for occasionally breaking with his party. He was the only House Democrat to vote in favor of GOP-backed measures to avert a government shutdown\u00a0<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/government-shutdown-house-vote-continuing-resolution-cr\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">in March<\/a><\/span>\u00a0and <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/house-vote-government-shutdown\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">in September<\/a><\/span>. The latter measure failed to secure enough support from Senate Democrats to pass, prompting what is now the longest government shutdown in modern U.S. history. Golden <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/2025\/04\/08\/trump-tariffs-house-democrats-jared-golden\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">also supports tariffs<\/a>, a core component of Mr. Trump&#8217;s trade strategy.<\/p>\n<p>Golden faced a primary challenge from Maine state Auditor Matt Dunlap, who has repeatedly accused him of &#8220;caving&#8221; to Mr. Trump. Former Gov. Paul LePage is running as a Republican in the 2nd Congressional District.<\/p>\n<p>In an op-ed in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bangordailynews.com\/2025\/11\/05\/opinion\/jared-golden-why-i-wont-seek-reelection-column\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Bangor Daily News<\/a>, Golden said his decision was driven in part by the &#8220;unnecessary, harmful&#8221; government shutdown. He also said he has &#8220;grown tired of the increasing incivility and plain nastiness that are now common from some elements of our American community,&#8221; and &#8220;recent incidents of political violence have made me reassess the frequent threats against me and my family.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t fear losing. What has become apparent to me is that I now dread the prospect of winning. Simply put, what I could accomplish in this increasingly unproductive Congress pales in comparison to what I could do in that time as a husband, a father and a son,&#8221; he wrote.<\/p>\n<p>First elected in 2018, Golden won reelection last year by 0.6 percentage points, or just under 3,000 votes. In the same year, Mr. Trump won in Golden&#8217;s district by about 9 points.<\/p>\n<p>The National Republican Congressional Committee reacted to Golden&#8217;s decision by expressing confidence that the seat will fall into GOP hands next year.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Serial flip-flopper Jared Golden&#8217;s exit from Congress says it all: He&#8217;s turned his back on Mainers for years and now his chickens are coming home to roost,&#8221; NRCC spokeswoman Maureen O&#8217;Toole. &#8220;He, nor any other Democrat, has a path to victory in ME-02 and Republicans will flip this seat red in 2026.&#8221;<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation \">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">More from CBS News<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n      <!-- tags --><br \/>\n    <\/section>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/jared-golden-wont-seek-reelection-maine-midterms\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Washington \u2014 Democratic Rep.
