“Montana Gov. Steve Bullock (D) announced that he will run for Senate, in a reversal that boosts Democrats’ fortunes in their bid to unseat Sen. Steve Daines (R-Mont.) and reclaim the Senate majority,” the Washington Post reports.
“According to a person familiar with Bullock’s thinking, the governor’s decision came in the past week or two, when his wife and three children switched their longtime opposition to him running for Senate and urged him to jump into the race.”
Inside Elections changed the rating of the race from Solid Republican to Lean Republican.
