Establishment Democrats have reportedly been pressuring the family of Alani Bankhead in order to push her into dropping out of the Montana Senate race so independent Seth Bodnar can step in.
As Breitbart News reported in July, Seth Bodnar, who has the backing of former Democrat Montana Sen. Jon Tester, has been actively weighing whether or not to stay in the race prior to the August 10 deadline.
“Independent Montana Senate candidate Seth Bodnar could withdraw from the state’s U.S. Senate race before the Aug. 10 filing deadline if Democrat nominee Alani Bankhead remains on the ballot,” said the report.
“Republican strategists and political operatives told Breitbart News that Bodnar’s campaign has struggled to gain traction despite spending by both the campaign and an allied super PAC,” it added.
Over the weekend, NPR noted that Democrats have been scrambling to pressure Bankhead to leave the race in the hopes of paving the way for Bodnar.
“Bankhead won the state primary, but both voters and some prominent Democrats are pressuring her to drop out of the race to make room for a prominent independent candidate, Seth Bodnar, who has already raised more money than her and Republican Kurt Alme combined,” reported NPR.
“Since 2024, Republicans have held all of Montana’s federal seats. This spring, some prominent Montana Democrats started saying that the party’s brand is so weak here that the only way to beat a Republican is to back an independent candidate,” it added.

Trump’s got millions. He should send her one of them.
Democrats are all about ‘their democracy’ don’tcha know...........
LOL
You did not know the following.
Trump never hands out GOP candidates his donations.
That is Donnie retirement funds.
But if he campaigns for a candidate.
He takes those donations and leaves the candidate nothing.
OZ and Griffth campaigns were broke by Donnie visits.
“Seth Bodnar, who has the backing of former Democrat Montana Sen. JON TESTER...”
That makes it a hard no.
Stupid comment.
Care to back that up?
According to this, ....
Trump boasts of over $1.5B in political funds. His spending tactic could shape the midterms
It is PBS so I’ll say take it for what it’s worth. But it wouldn’t be a good look for Trump to not spend the campaign funds to help other republicans get elected. The money wasn’t donated to make Trump richer.
I remember after 2020 election, Trump asked donations be sent to his PAC instead of the RNC. If this money is not used to help elect republicans, it would be a bad mark on Trump. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
Again, it’s PBS but let’s see if what he does with that campaign money supporters have trusted him with.
But Dem voters have been "drinking the koolaide" for decades, and now the koolaide addicts want action: a LOT of Dem voters actually believe Hitler is in the White House, planning to repeal the 13th Amendment. And guess what? The Dem establishment isn't doing anything! They can obviously SEE Hitler, he's right there a few blocks away in the White House, AND THEY'RE NOT SAVING AMERICA FROM LITERALLY HITLER!!!
So the Dem koolaide drinkers are voting for socialists, because they promise action.
And the Dem establishment is sitting there scratching their heads, and wondering how it happened. Just like the leaders of the French Revolution, as they were hauled off to the guillotine...
;^)
Trump does not share his donations.
The 2018 midterms showed that .
so just toss aside primary voters for her, and insert some one else the people didn’t choose when they had the opportunity to?
Yep. They know she can’t win so they want to do a ‘Biden-Platner’ switcheroo! Screw the voters wishes..................
OZ campaign was broken by pathetic candidacy.
OZ lost because when people in Pennsylvania compared him to Fetterman, they preferred Fetterman. A few years later, I understand why.
OZ was a shifty sales man for decades before his run, people knew that.
But Donnie picked OZ and he campaigned for him but took the donations.
He was Trumps chosen one.

Vivek looks like another winner.
He was ( is) a dual citizen, too. That’s creepy.
