Montana Democratic senator Jon Tester will run for reelection, he announced Wednesday morning, a move that complicates the Republican Party’s efforts to flip the red-leaning state in 2024.
«I am running for re-election so I can keep fighting for Montanans and demand that Washington stand up for our veterans and lower costs,» Tester, who has held office since 2007, said in a statement. «Montanans need a fighter holding Washington accountable and I’m running to defend our Montana values.»
Tester’s announcement comes as a boost to Democrats as they look to defend a treacherous Senate map and retain their narrow majority in the upper chamber.
