AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Maine Senate race: Democratic nominee Troy Jackson is facing fresh scrutiny after reports say he married his second cousin and fathered two children with her; his campaign hit back with a “personal attacks” line while not denying the relationship. Immigration in Maine and beyond: An AP-NORC poll finds Trump’s immigration approach remains his strongest issue with Republicans, even as overall approval sits at 39% and about half of Americans say he’s “gone too far” on deportations. ICE crackdown: Internal data reviewed by CBS News says ICE detentions hit a monthly record in July, with more than 46,000 people booked into custody. Local safety: A vehicle-pedestrian crash in Mechanic Falls sent a 28-year-old man to Central Maine Medical Center with serious injuries; Pleasant Street was closed for hours. Weather: Sunday in Maine stays mostly cloudy and humid, with storms possible and windy gusts; more scattered showers and thunderstorms roll in Monday. Community calendar: Newcastle will hold a special town meeting Aug. 10 to finalize funding for a fire pumper apparatus. Arts: Wintergreen Arts Center in Presque Isle hosts a free Summer Arts Showcase featuring young artists Aug. 7.
