WASHINGTON, D.C., USA — Among the frenzied crowd of Trump supporters in our nation’s capital Wednesday was one many Mainers will recognize: failed U.S. Senate candidate Max Linn.
In a photo posted to Facebook, Linn is seen raising his fists in the air in the midst of the MAGA-hatted crowd, with a smile grinning ear to ear. The caption reads: “I had a great time in Washington DC today.”

Linn, a proclaimed Independent but fervent supporter of President Donald Trump, did not succeed in his bid to unseat Republican Sen. Susan Collins, who was re-elected to a historic fifth term in the Nov. 3 election.
Linn is advertising an anti-lockdown and anti-mask demonstration for Saturday in Augusta. An ad in the Portland Press Herald says, “Let’s tell Janet: Request Denied”—a nod to his election cycle catchphrase.

Linn was heading back to Maine on Thursday.
