The US state of Maine excluded Donald Trump from the Republican primary this week. In her statement, Shenna Bellows, the Secretary of the Interior of Maine, specifically referred to Trump’s role in the storming of the Capitol in Washington, DC, on January 6, 2021. At that time, a mob incited by Trump overran the center of American democracy to demand the lawful handover of power to Joe Biden. Trump is guilty of inciting an insurrection, which disqualifies him as a presidential candidate, Bellows said. Maine is the second state, after Colorado, to bar Trump from primaries.
