Sen. Jon Tester (Mont.) announced Wednesday that he will seek reelection, bolstering Democratic hopes as the party faces a tough Senate map in 2024.
Tester was elected in 2006 in the Republican-leaning state that former president Donald Trump won handily in both 2016 and 2020. Tester, 66, is a distinctive figure in the buttoned-down Senate with his flat-top hair and three missing fingers that he lost as a child while grinding meat at the family butcher shop.He is chairman of the Senate Appropriations defense subcommittee and serves 0n the Veterans’ Affairs, Indian Affairs, Commerce and Banking committees.
The GOP primary could pit the state’s two House members, Ryan Zinke and Matthew M. Rosendale, against one another, while the other member of the congressional delegation — Sen. Steve Daines — serves as the chair of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, in charge of trying to flip the seat red.
Daines declined repeatedly last week to say whether he believed Rosendale, who lost to Tester in 2018, would be a strong candidate against the Democrat this time around. “Just looking at the numbers right now, I think we’ll have a very good night in Montana,” Daines said. “There’s a lot of interest in this race because a lot of people see this race as winnable.”23 Senate seats in 2024, including several in Republican-leaning states such as Ohio, West Virginia and Montana.
