Among the worthy Democratic Senators running for reelection this year, Jon Tester of Montana is probably the most endangered. In 2020, Trump won his state with 56 percent of the vote to Joe Biden's 40. That's a tough partisan baseline to overcome.
If the MAGA mob, in thrall to extremist excitements, hadn't taken over the Republican Party, Tester might be toast. But he's the real thing, a slightly curmudgeonly rancher with a flat-top haircut. So he's got a chance against an opponent who doesn't shut up about his radicalism.
Here's how Tester is attacking his opponent:
It's not very attractive to tell old people you are going to mess with their Medicare. If Tester can make this stick, he can eke out another improbable victory.
