Montana Democrat Won’t Step Aside for Independent

“Her candidacy was boosted with mysterious dark money. Some of her own party have suggested she is a ‘Republican plant’ running a fake campaign. Still, Democrat Alani Bankhead continues to crisscross Montana in a gray Subaru in her long-shot bid to be the state’s next U.S. senator,” the Washington Post reports.

”In the weeks since she refused to step aside to make way for an independent opponent who is more popular with many Democrats, Bankhead said she has been personally threatened and vilified for standing in the way of potential historic change in the Senate.”
