Summary
The 2024 race for Montana’s Senate seat, once seen as a near-certain Republican gain, has tightened unexpectedly, with Democratic incumbent Jon Tester showing a late polling advantage over GOP challenger Tim Sheehy.
Sheehy’s lead has diminished amid scrutiny of his story about a bullet wound he claims to have suffered during a deployment in Afghanistan. Discrepancies in his account, including conflicting explanations about a 2015 incident in Glacier National Park, have cast doubt on his credibility.
This polling shift has unsettled Republicans, with former Trump advisor Anthony Scaramucci describing their reaction as a “meltdown.”
How? After all of the hard work and death threats and fascism, you’d think the Republicans had this one in the bag!
I’m really hoping that fascists are more likely to talk to poll takers than go to the voting booth.
why bother voting if you think it’s rigged and going to storm the capital anyway?
Now do Texas, and Florida, and Georgia and
Georgia already has two Democratic Senators. You’re welcome.
Since most of you probably don’t know anyone who lives in MT I will volunteer as the official Lemmy representative of the state. In the event that Tester wins this seat please send all letters of congratulations and gift baskets to me.
Too late for polls now. Only voting is left. So go out and do it if you haven’t already
