Yet Gianforte won the state wide House race.

Tester got a lot of "sportsman" support from 2 influential podcasts and from BHA.

Democrat ballot shenanigans might be the factor in many other races but Tester's win in MT can be traced to "sportsman" social media influencers and the podcasts supporting Tester.


I agree. I told my uncle back in June that Rosendale would lose when it came out he wanted to get rid of federal land. Montanans don't like that at all.

Gianforte won, I believe, because Williams was very dangerous to gun owners. She bragged about her F rating from the NRA, but near to election she said she supports the 2nd Amendment. I think people saw through that.
