Republican Tim Sheehy will defeat three-term Montana Sen. Jon Tester, CNN projects, boosting the GOP’s hopes of claiming the Senate majority. JE: MAY NEED TO UPDATE DEPENDING ON WHEN THIS RACE IS CALLED
Republican Tim Sheehy will defeat three-term Montana Sen. Jon Tester, CNN projects, adding to Republicans’ newly won Senate majority. Montana has long been a deep-red state in presidential elections — and every other statewide office is currently held by a Republican. But Tester, a seven-fingered dirt farmer who had cut a moderate profile on Capitol Hill, previously had defied political gravity with his wins in 2006, 2012 and 2018.
Sheehy moved to Montana in 2014 after leaving the military, but Republicans believed carpetbagging attacks would have limited appeal in a state that is home to more transplants after the coronavirus pandemic. In the closing weeks of the race, Democrats stepped up their attacks over Sheehy’s conflicting story from nearly a decade ago over how a bullet became lodged in his arm.
