The race in red Montana between Sen. Jon Tester and entrepreneur Tim Sheehy is expected to be among the most competitive and costly this cycle, as Democrats fight to hold onto the Senate seat — and their majority.
Washington — Montanans are voting Tuesday in primaries for a key Senate seat that Democrats are fighting to hold onto come November, kicking off a general election brawl for control of the Senate. Incumbent Democratic Sen. Jon Tester is expected to face off against entrepreneur Tim Sheehy, with both men all but certain to win their party's nomination in Tuesday's primaries.Tester, 67, was first elected to the upper chamber in 2006.
I think this campaign is shaping up to be a little bit different in that sense, because he's running farther to the right than he has in the past, and he probably needs to do that.'For Tester, that shift can be observed in the way he's broken with some of his party on issues like border security, talking about the economy and opposing Chinese land buying in the U.S., among other things. And he's distanced himself from President Biden in the process.
