2. Democrat Matt Dunlap has conceded Maine’s 2nd Congressional District race to former Republican Governor Paul LePage. LePage led by more than 5,400 votes in Thursday’s reported totals. However, because neither candidate received more than 50% of the vote, Maine is still required to conduct a ranked-choice tabulation beginning Monday. LePage will replace outgoing Congressman Jared Golden once the results are certified. (WMTW)

3. Maine Senator Susan Collins is blaming her reelection loss to Democrat Troy Jackson on what she calls a “Trump tsunami.” Collins told The New York Times that anti-Trump sentiment hurt Republican candidates nationwide. She says voters unfairly tied her to the president, despite her vote to convict him during his second impeachment trial. Collins’ loss ends her nearly 30-year Senate career. (WGME)

4. Portland is reopening Catafalque Drive through Payson Park on November 16th after a five-month closure to test traffic safety. The city installed six new speed humps this week to slow drivers after a study found 97% of motorists were speeding on one of the park’s roads. Officials are still reviewing the results of the closure to determine whether additional safety measures are needed. (PH)
