Aww, that is a pity, isn't it?
Which party are you going to blame for that?
Not blaming anyone. Just stating facts.
I’m sure you don’t have to worry your empty little head about estate taxes.

This article shows why he's popular. He's the only member of Congress in either chamber who is a working farmer. He's very grass roots and likeable. And that's why he's won the last three terms (since 2007).
Sheehy is another rich Republican. He moved to Montana and started up a business and he talks to the wealthy elite in the resort towns. Sheehy has been trying to push that Tester is just another rubber stamp for the Biden-Harris administration and he would be the same for a Harris-Walz administration. But it's hard when Tester is the only sitting Democrat that has not endorsed the Harris campaign, he did not vote for her to become the party nominee, and he's skipping the DNC. He's not tying his wagon to the current administration.
Good article showing why Tester is so well liked in Montana

Tester skipped the DNC in order to harvest his crop - "If you're a farmer you know that pay day only comes once a year" (actual quote to a local news reporter). And then the night of Harris's acceptance he hosted a Pearl Jam concert at U of Montana (he's personal friends with Jeff Ahmet, who lives in MT on Flathead Lake).
I was in MT last week and Tester is running a great campaign. He's on the local news every night, doing town halls across the state, etc. Sheehy is widely viewed as a rich out-of-state carpetbagger, even among local Republicans. The issues with out-of-state wealth and buying up local homes for STR purposes is really creating a real populist movement among otherwise conservative Montanan locals.
This is really great to read and checks out with what I have been hearing as well. More updates in the future would be great!
Both Tester and Ament grew up in Big Sandy, MT. It's literally the middle of nowhere.

No way Democrats are going to flip Texas or Florida. Texas Democratic Party has zero infrastructure which is what you need for a state wide seat. And Florida GOP is just powerhouse. Maybe in 10 years if Democrats invest heavily and get rid of the corrupt leadership in TX.
Florida GOP is a powerhouse but is starting to fall into GOP in disarray recently - check out this Ben Sasse BS and DeSantis wanting to turn our state parks into golf courses - while the Florida Dems have been getting stronger. With abortion and weed on the ballot it is not IMPOSSIBLE to eke out a victory here. Rick Scott is no beloved local figure, either.
I'm sure Florida will break my heart like it has so many times, but don't write it off yet.
