The general election for a race that could determine the Senate majority begins right after Montana voters lock in their nominees in Tuesday’s primaries
. The center of the political storm in Montana is the U.S. Senate race, in which Democrat Jon Tester is running for reelection. Republican leaders including Sen. Steve Daines, chairman of the National Republican Senatorial committee, are supporting Tim Sheehy for the GOP nomination. Sheehy, a retired Navy SEAL who has the personal wealth to help pay for an expensive challenge to Tester, faces two other candidates on the ballot. Rep.
The Associated Press will provide results for and determine winners in 72 races, including the presidential primaries. Trump and President Joe Biden, a Democrat, are the only candidates on their respective ballots, but voters have the option to select “no preference” or write in a candidate in both races. The AP is also tabulating results for the Republican and Democratic primaries for the U.S. Senate race.
Montana’s 20 pledged Democratic delegates are allocated according to the national party’s standard rules. Five at-large delegates are allocated in proportion to the statewide vote, as are three PLEO delegates, or “party leaders and elected officials.” The state’s two congressional districts have a combined 12 delegates at stake, which are allocated in proportion to the vote results in each district.
Sheehy has never appeared on a ballot for statewide office, but he has a major financial advantage in the Republican primary for U.S. Senate. He has already spent $8.3 million as of a May 15 filing and had an additional $2.2 million in the bank. Two other candidates on the ballot have not come close to keeping up with Sheehy’s fundraising or spending. Gianforte is running for another term as governor alongside Lt. Gov. Kristen Juras. He faces a challenge from the right by state Rep.
As of May 22, there were 752,395 registered voters in Montana. Montana voters do not register with a political party. In the 2020 presidential election, turnout was 22% of registered voters in the Democratic primary and 31% in the Republican primary. In the June 2022 primary, about 87% of votes were cast before Election Day. As of May 28, a total of 448,022 ballots had been sent to voters, and 136,979 had been returned.
