The second political handicapper in a matter of days has shifted Montana's Senate race in favor of Republicans as incumbent Sen. Jon Tester falls behind.
The Senate race in Montana was shifted toward Republicans on Thursday by a top political handicapper as the weeks wind down to the November election. The seat currently held by Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont., was changed to 'lean Republican' by the Cook Political Report after long being considered a 'toss up.' The move comes just days after a different political handicapper similarly decided that Republicans were favored to win the Senate seat.
Sheehy defeated Tester 51%-45% in a two-person race and 49%-41% in a multi-candidate field, per the poll.
