"Donald Trump Refers to Maine Governor Janet Mills as 'He' During Campaign Call"

 "Donald Trump Refers to Maine Governor Janet Mills as 'He' During Campaign Call"

During a Monday conference call with Republican supporters in Maine, former President Donald Trump repeatedly referred to Governor Janet Mills as "he," according to a recording obtained by the Bangor Daily News. Mills, a Democrat, is in her second term as governor.

Trump criticized Mills' leadership, calling her "weak and ineffective" and taking issue with her administration's handling of immigration in the state. He accused Mills of working to "resettle 75,000 migrants" at the request of the Biden administration, suggesting that she readily followed orders, saying, “And they told him to do so, and he’s saying, ‘Yes, sir. Yes, ma’am. I will do it.’”

Here's a revised version of the short article:

"It was initially unclear what former President Donald Trump was referring to. According to the Associated Press, some Republicans have confused a 2019 economic initiative, which aimed to boost Maine's workforce by 75,000, with a distinct program, the Office for New Americans, established by the state in the previous year.

In response to Trump’s comments, Maine Governor Janet Mills highlighted that Trump is running against Vice President Kamala Harris.

Maine Governor Janet Mills, responding to Donald Trump on the social media platform X, stated, "He better get used to recognizing women. He’s about to be defeated by one." This comment was in reference to Trump's ongoing political battles.

During a call on Monday, Trump made several false claims about various issues affecting both the nation and New England. These included concerns over the southern border and challenges within the lobster industry. The call coincided with the first day of early voting in Maine, where voters are now heading to the polls.

USA TODAY has contacted Mills' office and the Trump campaign for a response.

This isn't the first time Trump has confused politicians in his speeches. Earlier this year, during the New Hampshire primary, he intended to criticize former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. However, he repeatedly referred to her as his Republican rival, Nikki Haley.

In Maine, Vice President Harris is currently leading in statewide polls. However, Maine is unique in that it allocates its four electoral votes by congressional district. This system gives former President Trump a potential opportunity to win one of these districts, which would secure him a single electoral vote. In what could be a tightly contested election this November, even that one vote might prove significant. See more

This was reported by The New York Times on Tuesday. While Dimon has not made any official public statement about a potential role, his openness to joining a Harris administration aligns with his years of experience in the financial sector and longstanding reputation as a leader in banking. However, according to the report, Dimon has refrained from publicly declaring his intentions, reportedly to avoid any backlash or retribution should Donald Trump, the Republican candidate, secure the presidency. The possibility of Dimon stepping into such a significant role in a Harris-led administra...

 "Cheryl Reeve Criticizes Officials After WNBA Finals Loss: 'We Were Robbed'" Minnesota Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve expressed her frustration openly during the post game news conference following Game 5 of the WNBA Finals on Sunday. In a hard-fought contest, the New York Liberty secured a 67-62 overtime victory, earning their first-ever franchise championship. Reeve, clearly upset with the outcome, addressed the media candidly. "I know the headlines will say, 'Reeve cries foul,'" she remarked. "Bring it on. Bring it on — because this game was stolen from us." Reeve was livid about the free-throw disparity in Game 5. New York was charged with 17 fouls, while Minnesota was whistled for 21. Despite the similar foul count, the Liberty were awarded 25 free throws, whereas the Lynx only had eight opportunities at the line. With Minnesota leading 60-58 and 6.3 seconds left in regulation, New York inbounded the ball to Breanna Stewart, who launched a...

Trump, a Republican presidential candidate, is set to appear in a pre-recorded town hall hosted by Fox News on Tuesday.
