A district court judge has denied Montana Democrats’ request to remove the Green Party candidate from the U.S. Senate race.

Jon Tester, Republican Tim Sheehy and Libertarian Sid Daoud in the race.

The Montana Democratic Party is suing the state to remove a Green Party U.S. Senate candidate from the ballot. Democrats argue the Green Party didn’t follow its own rules in appointing Barb, and that he’s actually a Republican.

President Joe Biden ended his re-election campaign. Montana politicians and Montanans in Helena shared their reactions.

Montana Democratic U.S. Sen. Jon Tester is walking a fine line as he seeks a fourth term. And this year could determine control of the Senate. Tester’s appeal-to-the-middle brand of politics faces another tough test in increasingly polarized times.

The Montana Democratic Party convened over the weekend to elect new officers. Those who won say they’re focused on turning around the party’s losing streak.

Republican Senate President Jason Ellsworth says he has ‘not been abusive.’
