Dems' last-minute pitch to Treasure State voters: Make Montana Montana again

With less than 100 hours to go in an election season that has seemed to drag on for years, a group of Montana Democrats who are running for statewide office were sprinting across the state making their final pitches to voters and urging volunteers to get out the vote.

Montana has been the recipient of more polling than in previous cycles, largely due to the U.S. Senate race, and most of those have shown Democrats lagging behind Republicans. Recent elections in 2020 and 2022 have continued to strengthen the GOP’s numbers, so while Republicans have not been holding as many events, Democrats are stopping in dozens of places leading up until Tuesday’s election.

The message from the Dems was simple and repeated: The 2024 Election is a fight to bring back Montana, a reference to the harder political shift to the right, and an influx of new residents that has seemed to change the state from a ticket-splitting purple state to one that is nearly completely dominated by Republicans.

At a campaign stop in Billings on Friday afternoon in which several hundred people were nearly spilling out of the Pub Station in downtown, the lone elected Democrat at the statewide level made his pitch to continue representing Montana in the U.S. Senate, as well as possibly keep the nation’s upper chamber of Congress under Democratic control.
