After Donald Trump threatened to cut off funding to the state of Maine over the issue of transgender athletes, Governor Janet Mills famously told the president, ‘We’ll see you in court.” Since then, Maine has waged an effective resistance against Trump’s attempts at federal coercion. Political science professors Luisa Deprez and Amy Fried discuss the contours of this defiance and its implications for key upcoming races, including the re-election campaign of Sen. Susan Collins. Washington Monthly contributing editor Anne Kim and Legal Affairs Editor Garrett Epps co-host.
