The Candidate Has Not Yet Announced a Decision, and the Outcome Could Reshape the Competitive Senate Contest in the State

Montana's Democratic Senate candidate faces mounting pressure to withdraw from the race by Monday, Aug. 10, the deadline to remove names from the state's ballot, in a move that would clear the field for an independent contender. The candidate has not yet announced a decision, and the outcome could reshape the competitive Senate contest in the state. The deadline applies to all candidates seeking removal from Montana's ballot ahead of the general election.
