Actually, Greg Gianforte (running for Bullock's vacant seat) is the "tech oligarch" with the deep pockets. Daines worked for him before he entered into politics. Trump will carry the state for sure, it's going to be a razor thin margin for the Senate seat. The electorate in Montana is evolving quickly as the out state transplants move in. It will be very interesting to see how Kathleen Williams performs for the single House seat. She's facing Matt Rosendale who lost to Tester in '16 and while he's favored it's also going to be a close race.
On the surface, Montana is a red state. However, places like Bozeman and Missoula are blue and they continue to gain in population relative to the rest of the state.
I thought Daines and Gianforte were "partners", but I get your point. Gianforte is the thug who attacked the reporter in 2017, right?
