Key endorsements
Most Maine Democratic politicians have stayed out of the endorsement game in 2020, something that's not terribly surprising with Sens. Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts from nearby states, each vying for the nomination.

But Sanders did lock down an endorsement from state Senate president Troy Jackson.
Key issues
Maine is a generally moderate state that is also largely rural. That means its voters, who have sent moderate Republican Sen. Susan Collins to Washington four terms in a row, may be seeking a moderate Democrat to represent the party in November. Still, Sanders and Warren are known quantities representing nearby states.
The Bangor Daily News cited the relatively centrist Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar's work on rural issues like "broadband availability, supporting family farms and helping seniors age at home" as "attuned to Maine's interests" in its endorsement of the Minnesota Democrat.
Klobuchar dropped out of the presidential race Monday and, along with former South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg, endorsed former Vice President Joe Biden.
