The Portland Press Herald reports:
Democratic Rep. Chellie Pingree said today that she is still weighing whether to abandon her House seat to run for the Senate.
A factor in her decision is whether a three-way general election race that includes her and King could split enough Democratic and Democratic-leaning independent votes to throw the race to a Republican.
“You can imagine that people have been asking us all kinds of questions about that and we have enough experience in Maine with three-way races that I think it definitely adds a new dimension to the conversation about what to do here,” Pingree said in an interview in her Capitol Hill office this afternoon. “That is the outcome I would not like to see.”
