Montana Abortion Measure Could Influence Key Senate Race

Voters to decide on enshrining abortion rights in state constitution, potentially boosting Sen. Jon Tester's reelection bid.

  • Montana's ballot will feature a measure to enshrine abortion rights, aiming to increase voter turnout.
  • Sen. Jon Tester (D-MT) faces a tight race against Republican Tim Sheehy in a state Trump won by 16 points.
  • Democrats hope the measure will galvanize support similar to other states post-Roe v. Wade.
  • Republicans remain skeptical, with polls showing Sheehy slightly ahead but within the margin of error.
  • Tester has avoided national party events, focusing on local campaigning to appeal to Montana voters.
