Mr. Golden’s explanation for his vote, on the other hand, angered and frustrated some Democrats, including the author and famous Mainer Stephen King. As one of Mr. Golden’s constituents, Mr. King threatened on Twitter to “work with all my might to see him defeated next year” if he followed through with it. “Unflattering comparisons to Maine’s senior senator have certainly been made,” Mr. Majerus-Collins said, referring to Ms. Collins (who is not related). But Mr. Golden’s path in the House is far different. Still, on impeachment, Mr. Golden’s decision appears to have won over some voters in a state that prides itself on its tradition of fierce political independence.
