[@DRNT940]

Dude, Montana, leaning republican isn't new.

[@clahr7671]

As a MT it was independent purple when growing up there and were not TX 1st woman US congresswoman Janette Rankin a suffragette!

[@SoldierXfreedom]

Yes it is when the incumbent has won 3 straight senate elections

[@jasonkealoha776]

Don't underestimate Florida because there's a GOOD Chance RICK SCOTY MY LOSE HE'S SENATE SEAT......WHAT ABOUT TEXAS

[@yelleryoung5870]

These polls only call people with landlines no?

[@smorris281]

Not at all. I got a text yesterday inviting me to take a Washington Post poll, which I did. First poll I ever participated in. Only took 5 minutes and I answered about 15 questions.

[@Africanwarrior101]

I think this is a myth, because I’ve gotten calls inviting me to polls.

[@kalen8693]

Tester will win. I will vote for him.

[@jkrasney1]

Senator Tester has been excellent for Montana. Tester is a "Man of the people of Montana."

[@smorris281]

Oh, well in that case.

[@al-bot1094]

The young people aren't being polled.

[@ntsejfamyaj]

Young people need to stop being apathetically glued to Tiktok and go vote.

[@AverageJoe483]

They also have a very low turn out rate

[@jeepguy4499]

How can anyone with a conscience vote Republican?

[@RichardQuaid]

Or a brain?

[@jaytaylor2312]

I’m voting democrat for open borders, more wars, inflation, record breaking credit card debt, etc……

[@meganalves9967]

Me 🙋‍♀️ and I’m an independent voter The democrats have destroyed my city & state

[@bernardwylie9760]

@@jaytaylor2312 two of those things are based purely on free market forces, you know remember a free market economy, they have nothing to do with political parties or elected officials. Electing Trump does it magically bring inflation down it’s coming down on its own quite naturally. Electing Trump doesn’t make individual Americans more responsible with their credit debt. And Electing Trump doesn’t magically bring peace to the world, even if he cozies up to every two bit dictator out there.

[@coachm2922]

I’ve lived the last four years and seen how bad Democrats are…Actually in my 48+ years, I’ve NEVER seen as bad as four years as these ones. Democrats do nothing but divide and oppress. That’s literally what their party was founded on.

[@Coral-reef.]

NO TAX ON OVERTIME

[@sherylcannon-white3904]

Project 2025 eliminates overtime, easy promise since it won't be a thing.

[@Brakdayton]

Lower income tax. Higher sales tax. Helps the more well off, screws the less well off.

[@DavidVogeley]

Yeah the orange Jesus says no tax on overtime but then says there is no such thing as overtime anymore.

[@Coral-reef.]

@@DavidVogeley their will be under his administration. Thank you. Bye bye. 👋

[@DavidVogeley]

@@Coral-reef. Another person who never listens to what Trump says the word gullible comes to mind

[@paulbraga4460]

i am betting a dollar against this - the democrats will retain the senate...blessings to all

[@BobG-pi8bb]

Dems have good candidates this cycle and I think they’ll be fine even with Brown running for re-election in Ohio but knowing WV is a R, I don’t know how they would win without Montana. This is right. Could Scott lose Florida? Could Trump? Maybe.

[@BossofBosses111]

They have chances in Missouri, Florida, and Texas. If they could flip one of those they would have a chance.

[@et34t34fdf]

@@BossofBosses111 Missouri is impossible, Florida probably is too.

[@brooklynnchick]

Uhhh…Montana is leaning Republican because the majority of Montanans ARE Republican, and that’s how it has always been. I was born there, raised there, worked there forever in small agricultural and mining communities. 😂

[@clahr7671]

@@brooklynnchick no and you didn’t live there I did I grew up there my family settled Eastern Montana and the 1860s the only kind of Republicans were Lincoln Republicans, which are not today’s Republicans. The Dems are far more Lincoln Republicans than ever. But in the 80s, we had a purple state is very independent. We weren’t party people. Two Democratic we had Democratic governors.. in fact just a few years ago Steve Bullock was the gov and a Dem. But way back then Republicans were not maga fanatics... Republicans no longer exist the way they did back then. They just don’t. So you are very, very wrong

[@celiaflinn7737]

Hopefully Sherrod Brown will be voted out. He has not helped Ohio, he has just voted 98% of the time with Harris and helped to cause the inflation!

[@passerau]

Tester needs the young vote or Kamala endorsement

[@clahr7671]

Sick - sad as a MT Sheehan’s will sell MT to highest bidder… just drove through MT more Tester signs than Sheehy

[@ChrisSonPEI]

Bad news for everyone, except like a few hundred rich people.

[@matejovich]

Sorry you aren't rich but get to work and maybe you will have a shot. Spend less than you take in and invest wisely. It's not rocket science.

[@ChrisSonPEI]

@@matejovich that's a bizzare thing to say to someone. And also demonstrably false, or everyone wouod be rich.

[@flynnrider4354]

Fund Florida and Texas!!!

[@ronreagan7950]

Everyone needs to commit to vote in November to stop the authoritarianism of the GOP. Old, young, men, women. Vote.

[@Silencedogood1777]

I’m in Brown’s district. It’s terrible with gang violence, and the infrastructure is terribly neglected. Forget trying to start a business with all the regulations running business and jobs away. He’s been in office for 30 years and the only life he’s improved is his own. Republican or Democrat he should retire. Same for Kapter. They stopped carrying except in election years when they seem to have a lot of money for their campaigns.

[@HumanitytoSurvive]

No chances!

[@goodstufffromdavidpaul2246]

The same Sheehy who would ban all abortions'.

[@et34t34fdf]

I agree, Texas is more likely than Florida.

[@pswire1117]

It's easy to Gerrymander districts for senate elections, even if the population is Dem leaning, its easy to isolate and prevent urban vote blocks from voting, so you end up with Red rural districts with more influence than blue urban areas. It's like Urban votes count for 1.0 votes but Rural votes count for 1.05 votes.

[@gathrightcrystal]

And the state department is on video doing the joker laugh before a press conference today while the Whitehouse screams its not funny during their press conference today 😎🎥
