MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell is joined by Montana Democratic Sen. Jon Tester to discuss how the issue of reproductive rights, which will be on the ballot in Montana in November, is shaping his race against his Trump-backed Republican rival, Tim Sheehy.
The U.S. Senate is up for grabs in the 2024 election cycle, and it’s far from clear which party will be in the majority for the next two years. It’s likely that the entire national effort will come down to a contest in one state: Montana. Democratic incumbent Sen. Jon Tester is a respected and accomplished incumbent, running on a record of success, and it won’t hurt his chances that there’s an abortion-rights ballot measure on the statewide ballot.
” This is probably the sort of story the GOP candidate would prefer to avoid four weeks before Election Day, but complicating matters for Sheehy is that this is the latest in a series of overlapping messes. The Republican Senate hopeful, for example, has also used racist rhetoric when talking about Native Americans — which is indefensible under any circumstances, and which is especially foolish in a state with a sizable Native population.
