The Find Out Podcast · Rep. Chellie Pingree Breaks Down the Maine ICE Killing · 17 Jul 2026 podcast

So it's been very hard for people to kind of switch gears and make that transition.

And then I think there were a lot of worries in the beginning.

And I have yelled at some of my out-of-state pundit friends and just been like, will you stop writing the dumbass columns that says the machine is going to control the operation of Maine?

Oh, my God.

I'm just going to tell you, I've been in Maine politics a long time.

And county committees are run by really sweet, you know, little old ladies who show up with the brownies.

Nobody ever wants to go to our state convention.

It's like the second Saturday in Maine.

People never paid any attention to this stuff before.

We don't have a machine in Maine.

We've got a lot of people who are willing to show up and keep the whole thing going.

But it's been considered one of the most boring things you could do with your life is to show up to a monthly county committee meeting.

I know because candidates have to do it and politicians have to do it.

And I love all the people who do it.

They're diehards.

But there's no machine here.

Chuck Schumer couldn't come into our state if he begged us to.

I mean, and we've learned like if they try to put this on the scale from the outside, it will be the kiss of death for that candidate.

So nobody's begging for it anyway.

So, yeah, I think the state party has been scrambling that.
