Are Montana Democrats Abandoning Their Own Candidate?

“Democrats are facing an unusual obstacle in their push to create as many paths to a Senate majority as possible this fall: a Democratic nominee who refuses to quit,” NOTUS reports.

“Democrat Alani Bankhead is set to face Republican Kurt Alme in Montana’s Senate election — the kind of race that would be a reach for Democrats in a normal year but could be on the table in a favorable political environment this year. The problem is Democrats are rallying behind independent candidate Seth Bodnar, who they think actually makes that long shot a possibility.”

“But with both candidates running, beating Alme is nearly impossible.”
