Amid the ongoing battle between Maine and President Donald Trump, the state’s governor, Janet Mills, has been silent, according to the president.
In a Truth Social post on Saturday morning, Trump said he has “not heard” from Mills ever since their public spat last month about transgender athletes competing in girls’ and women’s sports.
