ME-02 House Race 2026 — Live Prediction Market Odds
Maine’s 2nd District
Maine’s 2nd is the rare seat the market has moving toward Republicans: Democrat Jared Golden holds this Trump-won district, but the contract prices former governor Paul LePage as the favorite to take it. Golden has out-run his district before, so the market’s confidence in a flip is itself the story worth pressure-testing. Read the live price as the tug-of-war between Golden’s personal brand and the district’s Republican lean.
Currently represented by Jared Golden (D)
Quick Answer
As of August 27, 2026, Paul LePage leads the ME-02 House market at 57¢ — real money putting the implied probability at 57%. Forecasters rate the seat Lean R, so the gap between that rating and this price is the whole question.
Seat currently held by Jared Golden (D).
