Gov. Janet Mills spoke at a Democratic watch party for the first presidential debate between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump. The governor criticized Trump for deploying what she called mudslinging, name calling and “just so many fibs.” Mills highlighted how the Biden administration assisted Maine on a range of issues, including climate change, health care and education. “The Biden administration is helping us fight PFAS, fight the rising seas and the terrible storms we’ve encountered,” Mills said, referring to the eight disaster declarations she’s requested over the past two years. “It was quite a change in tone and change in level of assistance when President Biden came into office.”
