Fox News
Maine Gov. Janet Mills faced her Republican challenger, former Gov. Paul LePage Monday evening for their second televised debate ahead of the midterms.
In one fiery exchange, LePage, who was governor of Maine from 2011 to 2019, accused his opponent of "spending like money like a drunken sailor." Bradford Betz is a Fox News Digital breaking reporter covering crime, political issues, and much more.
"The only difference is a drunken sailor spends his own money," LePage said, to which the governor shot back: "It’s unbelievable to suggest giving people money to help fight inflation – which is one of the best inflation relief measures in the country – is some sort of gimmick."
