Senator Jon Tester, a Democrat from Montana facing a tough re-election campaign, has publicly challenged the Biden administration over its decision to lift a ban on beef imports from Paraguay. This marks the first time a Senate Democrat has directly opposed President Biden in such a manner, highlighting Tester as one of the vulnerable Senate Dems. Tester's office emphasized the significance of this challenge, which culminated in the Senate approving a motion led by Tester to override the administration's decision. The move by Tester, who made his stance clear by wearing a cow-themed tie, has sparked discussions among Democrats, with some expressing concern that internal disputes could detract from broader party goals, such as protecting democracy and avoiding hurting an overmatched vice president's feelings.

If ‘Democracy Is on the Ballot,’ Kamala Harris Shouldn’t Be https://t.co/hFqon0YSCK Yes, THIS. Combine this with @baseballcrank 's pieces against Harris in 2020, and you understand why a NeverTrumper could also balk at Biden-Harris.
