Yes, the Libertarians did play spoiler to keep him in power...
But I think the jig is finally up for him.
We will see how it plays out, but given its a presidential year, and MT is now so deep red its got super majorities in both houses for Republicans and Republicans hold ever single statewide office.
Tester has been the lone hold out, that’s managed to hold on.. but I think this time, especially with all those 50-50 votes where Kamala made 51 votes for Biden’s horrible agenda, he can’t hide... he can’t pretend he was a moderate... or independent. For much of the mess that the US has had to deal with for the last 3+ years, no Democrat Senator can claim they weren’t part of it... every one of them had to vote for the crap in order for it to pass... so they can’t pretend they were independent etc.
We’ll see how it plays out, but I think Tester is done.

Washington state. I can remember when republican Slade Gordon lost his senate race to Maria Cantwell by 2,000 votes. The Libertarian got 16k. I don’t know what kind of republican Gordon was but the seat’s been gone for 24 years. Then there’s that Conrad fella who lost Montana. Stupidity on his part I do believe. Then there’s Stevens in Alaska. Sounds like our senate leaders gotta be meaner like Pelosi when the situation calls for it.
