Who won the Montana Senate race?: Tim Sheehy, a Republican, has won the Montana Senate race against incumbent Jon Tester, a Democrat. This victory adds to the Republicans' Senate majority.
Why was Tester's defeat considered surprising?: Tester's defeat is surprising given his previous wins in a deep-red state, but this year he faced the added challenge of sharing the ballot with Donald Trump.
What controversy surrounded Sheehy during the campaign?: Sheehy's past military service and conflicting accounts regarding a bullet wound became a significant point of contention during the closing weeks of the campaign.
What role did the abortion rights ballot measure play in the election?: A key factor in the race was a ballot measure to enshrine abortion rights in Montana's constitution, which could have benefited Democrats, but ultimately did not affect the outcome.
What were the main strategies employed by both parties in this election?: Democrats attacked Sheehy's background, portraying him as an out-of-state millionaire with questionable credentials, while Republicans linked Tester to President Biden and the Democratic Party.
