Golden received 49.9% to Theriault&rsquo;s 49.8% of the vote with 99% of votes counted. Theriault quickly called for a recount, which concluded Wednesday, one day shy of one month since the election.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement, Theriault congratulated Golden and thanked his own supporters.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;It has been the honor of my life to run to represent Mainers in Washington,&rdquo;&nbsp;Theriault said.&nbsp;&ldquo;This was an extremely close and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/gop-wins-last-remaining-house-race-as-dem-finally-concedes\/\" title=\"GOP Wins Last Remaining House Race As Dem Finally Concedes\">hard-fought race<\/a> and I&rsquo;m humbled by the tremendous reception we received from all corners of the district.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I ran this campaign centered around putting People Over Politics, and it&rsquo;s time to do that now,&rdquo; he continued. &ldquo;I want to congratulate Jared Golden and wish him the best of luck representing our beautiful home. I look forward to working with him, the rest of the delegation, and the Maine people to continue to fight for our state.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Golden is one of the few Democrats who won a district that President-elect Donald Trump carried in 2020, casting himself as a centrist. He pulled this feat off again in 2024, though much more narrowly than last time. He never said whether he voted for Vice President Kamala Harris, something Theriault repeatedly harped on.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Maine congressman was one of the first congressional Democrats to come out against President Joe Biden during his postdebate crisis in July.
