WATCH: New MDP Ad Tying Bobby Charles to Donald Trump

Augusta, Maine — With just under 100 days until Election Day, the Maine Democratic Party launched a new ad “Trump’s Biggest Fan” highlighting Bobby Charles’ unwavering loyalty to Donald Trump — using Charles’ own words.

The ad features a compilation of Charles repeatedly praising Trump, including declaring, “I stand not only with Trump, but for the same principles that he stands for.”

Bobby Charles has embraced Trump and the MAGA agenda on the campaign trail. He supports Trump’s budget lawtariffs, and war in Iran, which have led to skyrocketing health care premiums, grocery costs, and more.

Charles even went to DC to lobby for Trump’s endorsement in the governor’s race and enthusiastically welcomed JD Vance during his visit to Bangor.


Statement from Maine Democratic Party Spokesperson Lauryn Fanguen:

“Bobby Charles isn’t just supporting Donald Trump — he’s auditioning to be Maine’s MAGA governor. While Mainers are paying more because of Trump’s agenda, Charles is cheering it on and asking for Trump’s seal of approval. Voters don’t have to take our word for it, they’ll hear Bobby Charles say it himself.”

What an incredible human being Donald Trump is

An idealist who is the ultimate realist

He’s kind of a Nelson Mandela figure

You almost get the feeling that he’s a man of destiny

That this is really something where if you fall in behind this man, the world will be lead to a better place

I think Donald Trump is teaching the world what leadership looks like

I think we should be very proud of that

Don’t expect miracles over night

Even though I think Donald Trump is a bit of a miracle worker, and I’ve written about that

I stand not only with Trump, but for the same principles that he stands for
