In Montana, Republican leaders want Bridger Aerospace chief executive Tim Sheehy — a former Navy SEAL and multimillionaire who could self-fund his own campaign — to challenge three-term Democratic Sen. Jon Tester.
In Ohio, state Sen. Matt Dolan, whose family owns the Cleveland Guardians, could face Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown.
Other names the outlet reported being floated as potential candidates in other states include: Karrin Taylor Robson, an Arizona attorney who lost the 2022 GOP gubernatorial nomination to former journalist Kari Lake

Our leaders are determined to fail.
If Mitch McConnell is either dead or out of the Senate by 2024, we’ll be able to get to a Senate majority.
He is thwarting Republican candidates from winning and LIKES being in the minority.
This is a head-fake.
What their looking for is moderates, not conservative, members of the GOP-E Globalist club.
GOP leadership found out in 2016 that having a wealthy candidate translated into money they could plunder from the part.
Rinse...repeat.....
part S/B partY
Starts with name recognition. Oz had his negatives, carpetbagger being just one of them. Kari Lake had Maricopa county cheating-could be fixable.
These millionaire rookies are an accident waiting to happen and we’re supposed to accept what leadership didn’t learn? Rape victims can shut down their bodies?Only if they’re a witch.
The Senate is a smaller. 6 year terms. That means they’re lost for 6 years when we lose. Doesn’t mean we have to blow it. Does that mean follow the RINO into battle? Kelly Ayotte(’16) lost by 600 votes-would’ve made a difference.
At the beginning Trump could have been described as an idle billionaire looking to spend his money, personally I though he wouldn’t amount to anything as a candidate, obviously he proved me and many others completely wrong.
Yes, he had name recognition, but had a checkered past, including multiple marriages and contributing to Hillary Clinton, Chuck Schumer and many others.
Before we condemn these potential candidates let’s see what type of makeup they have first.
Unfortunately it always seems for every self-funder like Trump we get 10 self-funders like Romney.
Could be we need to give more money. Our contributions are smaller but there are more of them, something the article doesn’t mention. Democrats have the billionaires, something campaign finance reform didn’t fix.
What about all the successful Governors who don’t want into the ‘world’s greatest deliberative body?’ They’re taking a pass. Former gov. Justice(WV.) is it. Again follow the RINO into battle. WV should be low-hanging fruit. Just pick it.
Montana-Gianforte after just one term? Not gonna happen.
VA-GOP Gov. with a star at Lt. Gov? Dream on.
Penn-McCormick would have been a better nominee. 20-20 hindsight.
Would it be too much to ask someone to be a sacrificial lamb to make the rats put their resources in a ‘secure’ seat? Scott Walker comes to mind. Then there’s the ‘team player’ Governors in Vt. and Md.-you know the frumpy one. BJ was one and he ended up winning.
No one will run without a guarantee of money. It’s back on us.
*Before we condemn these potential candidates let’s see what type of makeup they have first.*
Like the democrats we are guilty of going for ‘the flash’. (BJ-Kenyan) Ollie North had no business running back way back when. I was such a big fan of Treasury’s Wm. Simon I was drawn to Jr. for Calif Gov.(2002). He was down-right stupid. Sharon Angle?
Once we’re locked into the primary winner we’re stuck. We end up giving the rats and the MSM a single target to focus on.
Sounds like McConnell is planning to take the money he collected from donors to get republicans elected with him when he retires.
Rockingham-Think Wisconsin. Walker not likely to win. Money would be an issue. That’s 2 strikes. That’s my point. Make the rats put more resources into their campaigns. Works both ways.
My take as well. Not what the founding fathers intended.
Once a millionaire buys his way to the nomination how does he/she identify with the common voter? Remember Kelly Loeffler on Ga? She was like the beautiful babe in HS everyone wanted-nothing upstairs. Still if all the voters on Nov. 3rd had showed up on the January runoff we would have 2 senators from Georgia. It’s on us.
So how do WE vet the candidates? Kemp looked at Loeffler and treated us like we were all in high school. While we’re at it let’s hope Kemp runs against (now pretty-boy) Ossoff when his term is done in ‘26-probably beneath him. Ossoff has the sexy London School of Economics degree. It works for the left and Kemp won’t engage in a fight unless the opponent is water buffalo-ugly.
GOP going now here as long as Romney’s niece is in charge.
The candidates that are not self-funded are just as likely to be captured by the establishment. It takes real money to run for congress, races like the Senate even more so because they are statewide.
Once that morbidly-obese, totally-unqualified moron J. B. Pritzker bought the Illinois governorship, it became clear that it was only a matter of time before this country descended from a democratic republic to a plutocracy, irrespective of which party was involved.
Have they corrected the problems; mail in votes, vote harvesting, drop boxes, no ID required to vote, machines counting votes? If these haven’t been corrected then expect more fraudulent elections. Looks like the globetrotters are going to beat the washington generals again! What’s the point in voting when the “fix is in”.
What STATE legislatures are we in control of? Will they push it like they didn’t do in Wisconsin?
