Thread title says it all

I know that was a seat that had a lot of talk earlier in this cycle as a potential D pick-up in a state that will overwhelmingly vote Trump tomorrow

What's the current state of that race?

A D winning in Montana? I haven't kept up either but this is hard to believe.

Daines is polling ahead generally by a hair. But it will be close, within 5 points either way.

I wouldn't rule out a D flip there but I wouldn't say it was likely.

They just reelected a Democratic Senator in 2018, and the Democratic candidate for Senate in 2020 is the two-term incumbent Governor of MT.

Not saying that Daines will lose, but they have a weird independent streak up there when it comes to vote-splitting down ballot.

They have a D Senator already and trying to get another, plus a D Governor.

They already have one Dem Senator in Jon Tester, and the current candidate is a fairly popular former Gov

Hippies and Cali refugees that are dumb and keep voting for the type of people that wrecked their previous home.

Remember that Obama nearly won that state in 2008.


It will be dark red, though, in 2020.

This is one contested race that I think has turned in favor of the GOP candidate. Silver gives Daines a 67% chance of holding the seat, and most of the recent polls have Daines up in the race. Anything could happen, of course, but this is a contested Republican Senate seat that I am least concerned about losing.

Its all the hippies of the 60's "getting back to nature man" that have polluted the gold and silver state.

Bullock has pissed a lot of people off with his handling of covid. Turns out, most Montanan's don't like lock downs. Daines has been running effective ads (even though he doesn't do much as our current Senator). It was close over the summer but Daines should win this one. I wish Daines would body slam a reporter like Gianforte and seal the deal.

For some reason party affiliation is a non-issue in Montana. I have a friend from Montana who claims that is because most races are between candidates who are only slightly right or left of center and not that far apart. Unfortunately, that doesn't account for what happens when you elect a D and send them to D.C. where they have to join their party caucus.
