Senator Jon Tester is engaged in a highly competitive race that could determine control of the U.S. Senate. Despite Montana's shift from a purple to a red state, Tester leads in most polls and has a significant campaign war chest. Tester, who has held his seat since 2007, faces GOP candidate Tim Sheehy, a former U.S. Navy SEAL and aerospace millionaire. Polling data from RealClearPolitics shows Tester ahead by 5 points, while a JL Partners survey indicates Sheehy leading by 3 points. Senator Steve Daines, head of the Senate GOP’s campaign arm, is actively supporting Sheehy's campaign. Tester's strong name recognition and fundraising capabilities are key factors in his campaign.
