Democratic Sen. Jon Tester and Republican challenger Tim Sheehy squared off in Montana’s first Senate debate on Sunday — an early showdown in one of the most important races to determine control of the Senate next year.
On the issue of border security, Sheehy said, “Time and time again, Joe Biden and Senate Democrats, including Jon Tester, have had the opportunity to shut down that border and pass legislation to do so.” Sheehy later went on to dismiss Biden’s recent executive action as “political theater.” Sheehy, a former Navy SEAL and entrepreneur, also tied Tester to Biden on military issues.
