Breaking: Republican Tim Sheehy Unseats Democratic Incumbent Jon Tester in Montana

November 6, 2024

Republican Tim Sheehy has won the U.S. Senate seat in Montana, unseating Democratic incumbent Jon Tester, who had served for three terms and was Montana’s only statewide Democratic officeholder.

Sheehy, a former U.S. Navy SEAL, ran on a strong conservative platform aligned with former President Donald Trump, whose popularity remains high in the state.

This win represents a significant shift in Montana’s political landscape, as Tester’s defeat gives Republicans a notable Senate seat gain in a critical election year. The Associated Press officially called the race at 6:26 a.m. EST on Wednesday.
