Trump Misidentifies Maine Governor in Call

During a recent tele-rally in Maine, former President Donald Trump mistakenly referred to the state's first female governor, Janet Mills, using male pronouns multiple times. Mills responded sharply on social media, suggesting Trump needs to recognize women, as she prepares for a potential electoral challenge. Trump also made false claims that Mills intended to resettle 75,000 migrants, conflating a workforce growth initiative with immigration policies, which Mills clarified was aimed at boosting the state's economy over a decade. The governor's 2019 plan aimed to increase the workforce, not specifically to resettle immigrants. Trump's remarks occurred on the first day of early voting in Maine, highlighting his focus on the politically significant 2nd Congressional District, where he previously secured electoral votes. The Trump campaign has not commented on the inaccuracies or the gender misidentification.
