Former U.S. Senator Jon Tester, D-Mont., linked his 2024 Senate loss to ex-Vice President Kamala Harris’ poor performance in the state.
Tester, who lost to former Navy SEAL Tim Sheehy in that race, declared on HBO’s "Real Time with Bill Maher" that the woke politics embraced by the top of the ticket are what doomed his performance in Montana.
"And the top of the ticket did not perform because I don’t think the top of the ticket embraced the issues that Americans were talking about," he said. "We got wrapped up in all the cancel culture crap."
Tester had served three terms as the Democratic U.S. Senator in Montana, which has consistently voted for the Republican presidential candidate for decades.
The ex-senator has taken a more moderate stance on issues during his time in the Senate, openly breaking with the Biden-Harris administration on several issues throughout the years. The Democrat also withheld an endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris after she became the party's nominee.
Both Maher and Tester agreed on the need for the Democratic Party to abandon its far-left leanings and "court the center" as the best way to rebuild and present an alternative to the GOP under Trump.

They just weren’t that into ole jon
Turn off the excuse machine, dude.
I guess Jonny didn’t get the memo...Kamala was chosen to save down-ballot seats.
John was past his expiration date. MT is like WV. He was the last vestige of a time when Democrats weren’t completely insane.
Dems went anti timber and, just like they went anti coal, MT is following the same path at WV.
Redder and Redder with every election.
