  • Over 22,000 people have signed an online petition to recall Maine governor Janet Mills, who has loudly opposed President Donald Trump's transgenders-in-sports executive order.

A petition to recall Maine Governor Janet Mills has garnered over 22,000 signatures, driven by opposition to her support for a new law allowing transgender athletes to compete in sports consistent with their gender identity. This law, which was signed by Mills, has sparked controversy and led to a planned protest in Augusta, Maine. The petition, initiated by Republican state Rep.
