Interesting late endorsement, given that King has stayed out of his state’s Senate race. (He endorsed Democrat Hannah Pingree for governor after her primary.)
NEW: Sen. Angus King is endorsing our campaign!
Sen. King has spent his career fighting for the people of Maine. I’m ready to get to work alongside him in Washington, fighting for the people of this state and district.

In Maine, Canadians used to travel to the U.S. “and buy stuff because it was cheaper," a retiree told @scrippsnews in a shouted cross-border interview. “People aren't doing that now.”
“Until your management changes, I think it's going to stay that way.”

John Foster is a Republican, and told me he's voted for Sen. Susan Collins “every time.” This year, Foster says he won’t.
What changed? “Trump.”
I traveled to the U.S.-Canada border, where the trade fight is shaping how some Mainers view the midterms.

Via release: “The reserve has never before been used to lower home heating oil prices”
“I’m trying to avoid using my fuel oil, and so I’m using a lot of blankets, [and] my winter coat when I sit down,” an 88-year-old voter told @scrippsnews, as Mainers grapple with the high cost of heating oil, now ~$6/gal.

CARIBOU, ME— 14 days out, @scrippsnews is on the ground in Sen. Susan Collins’ (R-ME) birthplace, where her last name still looms large, and voters we’ve spoken to know the Collins family well.
First question from an attendee is where Dunlap stands on impeaching Trump… which he hedges:
“We should have the hearings, do the investigations, and take it where it leads us, … we have to be careful, we have to be methodical, we can’t ignore it.”
