Republicans are zeroing in on who would be the best challenger to Democratic Montana SenatorTester in a key race that could help determine which party will hold control of the upper chamber in 2024. Here's who GOP operatives want as candidates.
GOP leaders with the National Republican Senatorial Committee are reportedly courting veteran Tim Sheehy to take on the Democratic incumbent, pointing to his military background and status as a political outsider as advantages to boost his standing. NRSC Chairman Steve Daines has been pushing Sheehy to launch a bid as the committee leader shops around for top contenders, according to Axios.
If he decides to run, a campaign announcement wouldn’t be expected for several months, according to Axios. However, it would place him in what is likely to be a tough primary cycle against Rep. Matt Rosendale , who is seen as another top contender among GOP circles. Tester is considered one of the most vulnerable Democratic incumbents, as he is running in a state that Trump won by 16.4 percentage points in 2020. The NRSC has already begun targeting the Democratic incumbent, launching a series of attack ads calling on him either to “retire or get fired.”
