ARepublican lawmaker announced he is retiring from politics due to a candidate endorsed by former President Donald Trump's victory in a Congressional primary election.
Trump-backed candidate Austin Theriault, a former NASCAR driver and state representative, defeated State Representative Michael Soboleski in the primary for Maine's 2nd Congressional District on Tuesday. He will face off against Democratic Congressman Jared Golden, a top GOP target in the November elections in what could be one of the most competitive House races of the election cycle.
State Representative John Andrews, who was a supporter and campaign manager for Soboleski, wrote in a Facebook post Wednesday he is resigning from his position over Theriault's victory. He represented a district containing the town of Paris and nearby areas.
"I've just resigned my seat in the Maine State House of Representatives. I can't be a part of anything that supports Austin Theriault," Andrews wrote.

Ooops, my first mistake today... Jk, Carry on.
Looking for a gig on CNN/MSNBC.
No, no, no. It’s now Vaya Paul RINO. 🤣
A quick googling indicates this guy already quit the Republican party once in his short political career because he was butthurt over his committee assignments. He then rejoined the party in the very next election when his plan didn’t work because he’s got principles or something.
Well....Bye.
Really, Newsweek? Making a possessive out of the entire clause?
Should instead read:
A Republican lawmaker announced he is retiring from politics due to the victory, in a Congressional primary election, of a candidate endorsed by former President Donald Trump.
Regards,
Appreciate the editing. Wish there was more of it everywhere.
And Trump is now up 1 in Maine’s contorted Democrat/communist election “process.” Maine would be a nice pick up.
THANK GOD!!
AMF ya’ punk! The good citizens of Maine will be better without a mewling simp such as you representing them.
