Brian Duff, Ph.D., associate professor and chair in the Department of Political Science, was quoted in an August 1 article in the Portland Press Herald, titled 鈥淧undits puzzle over Trump visit to Portland.鈥

The article discusses presidential candidate Donald Trump鈥檚 second campaign visit to Portland, Maine, noting the unusualness of a Republican candidate campaigning so diligently in a typically Democratic district.

Duff was among those interviewed about Trump鈥檚 decision to revisit Portland. He refuted the view that Maine will play a significant role in the national election. 鈥淚 don鈥檛 think Maine is in play,鈥 Duff stated, adding that in his view, Trump鈥檚 visits to Maine are likely the result of the simple fact that Trump likes Maine鈥檚 Republican governor Paul LePage. 鈥淚 do think it鈥檚 that simple,鈥 Duff said. 鈥淗e likes LePage and he figures if he can win here, why not Trump?鈥
