Episode Details

Montana’s Senate race is heating up in a wild twist: Democrats are urging Alani Bankhead or Seth Bodnar to drop out before August 10th to avoid splitting the vote and handing the win to Republican Kurt Alme. Experts, including political science professor Paul Pope, say Alme is practically guaranteed victory with two Democratic candidates drawing from the same voter base. Neither Bankhead nor Bodnar is budging—though whispers suggest former Governor Steve Bullock could be a last-resort replacement if one exits. But even then, both candidates would need to withdraw for any real impact, and launching a late campaign would be nearly impossible. With Senator Steve Daines stepping aside, voters are being reminded to stay hyper-engaged as this race unfolds.
