共和党国会选区提名人、前缅因州州长保罗·勒佩奇宣布自己在国会选举中获胜，他在接受福克斯新闻数字频道独家采访时表示，如果“民主党损害国家”，他将“与他们抗争”。
前共和党缅因州州长保罗·勒佩奇在宣布自己的国会选区选举胜利后，本周已抵达华盛顿，尽管该州的排序复选制计票仍在进行中。
勒佩奇以微弱优势击败民主党对手马特·邓拉普，上周宣布赢得缅因州第2国会选区选举。邓拉普于11月5日周四承认败选。
这个以农村为主的选区是密西西比河以东面积最大的国会选区，且在特朗普三次总统选举中都由他拿下。

勒佩奇的 apparent 胜利（实际译文为“明显胜选”）将是共和党众议院在中期选举中未经过选区重划的席位中唯一由蓝转红的翻转。而且在共和党被蓝色浪潮击溃（民主党强势夺回众议院多数席位并重夺参议院控制权）后，这对共和党而言是难得的利好消息。

尽管邓拉普上周已承认败选，排序复选制计票还是于周一上午启动。这是因为勒佩奇虽以超过5000票的优势领先邓拉普，但未获得过半数支持，而过半票数本可避免启动排序复选制。根据缅因州国务卿的数据，勒佩奇在第2选区选举中获得了总票数的49.894%。
当排序复选制计票启动时，勒佩奇已身在华盛顿。
“保罗已经在华盛顿开展工作了，而故乡这边还在走流程。就像我们的对手——他已经承认败选，我们对结果有信心，”勒佩奇的长期竞选策略师布伦特·利特菲尔德对福克斯新闻数字频道表示。

预计这位前州长将在周二参与一个预定投票，该投票由卸任的共和党众议院议员和新当选的众议院共和党人共同进行，以选出下一任少数党领袖，竞争在现任众议院多数党领袖、来自路易斯安那州的史蒂夫·斯卡利斯和来自俄亥俄州的司法委员会主席吉姆·乔丹之间展开。在共和党遭遇惨败后，卸任众议院议长迈克·约翰逊决定不再参选领导众议院共和党。

被问及为何上周众多共和党人选落败而他能成功时，勒佩奇将原因归结为“我的个人品牌”。
“我已经两次担任州长了，现在是第四次拿下这个选区……靠的是我的个人品牌。人们认识我，信任我，也知道我会说什么、做什么，”勒佩奇上周三在缅因州班戈宣布胜选后接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访时表示。

展望未来，勒佩奇说：“希望民主党仍有一些常识，我希望能与他们合作。”

但在谈到与民主社会主义者协会（DSA）结盟的极左翼民主党人时，勒佩奇辩称，“我认为我们必须清除DSA派的民主党人。”
他还表示，共和党人和非DSA派民主党人“必须携手合作，因为DSA对这个国家来说是一种毒害。”

Former GOP governor heads to Capitol Hill before election count is complete: ‘Already at work’
LePage victory would be rare flip of a Democrat-controlled district by House GOP amid a massive blue wave in the midterms

Former Maine Gov. Paul LePage, the Republican nominee who declared victory in his congressional race, says in an exclusive Fox News Digital interview he’ll ‘fight against’ Democrats if ‘the hurt the country.’
Former Republican Gov. Paul LePage of Maine is in Washington this week after declaring victory in his congressional race, even as the state’s ranked-choice count continues.
LePage narrowly edged out Democratic rival Matt Dunlap, and last week declared victory in the race for Maine’s 2nd Congressional District. Dunlap conceded on Thursday, Nov. 5.
The mostly rural seat is the largest congressional district east of the Mississippi River by area and was won by President Donald Trump in all three of his presidential elections.

The apparent victory by LePage would be the only flip from blue to red by House Republicans in a non-redistricted seat in the midterm elections. And it would be rare good news for the GOP after getting trampled by a blue wave that saw Democrats storm back to grab a large House majority as well as recapture the Senate.

Even though Dunlap conceded to LePage last week, a ranked-choice count kicked off Monday morning. That’s because while LePage topped Dunlap by more than 5,000 votes, he fell short of grabbing a majority, which would have prevented ranked-choice voting. According to the Maine Secretary of State, LePage received 49.894% of the total votes cast in the 2nd District race.
LePage was in the nation’s capital as ranked choice voting got underway.
“Paul is already at work in Washington D.C. while the perfunctory process plays out back home. Just like our opponent, who conceded, we are confident in the outcome,” longtime LePage campaign strategist Brent Littlefield told Fox News Digital.

The former governor is expected to take part Tuesday in a scheduled vote by returning GOP congressional lawmakers and newly elected House Republicans to choose the next minority leader in the race between current House Majority Leader Steve Scalise of Louisiana and Judiciary Chair Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio. Outgoing House Speaker Mike Johnson decided against a bid to lead the House Republicans following the GOP’s crushing ballot-box setback.

Asked how he succeeded when so many Republicans went down to defeat last week, LePage pointed to “my brand.”
“I’ve been governor twice. I’ve won this district now for the fourth time… My brand. People know me and people trust me and know what I’ll say, I’ll do,” LePage said in a Fox News Digital interview last Wednesday in Bangor, Maine, after declaring victory.

Looking ahead, LePage said, “Hopefully there’s still some commonsense in the Democratic Party down there and I hope that I can work with them.”

But pointing to far-left Democrats aligned with the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), LePage argued, “I think we have to rid ourselves of DSA Democrats.”
And he said Republicans and non-DSA Democrats “have to work together because DSA is a poison for this country.”
