There are three Montana Democrats running for the U.S. Senate, but even though the primary hasn't occurred, the Montana Democratic Party has announced that it is going all-in on John Walsh with an official endorsement.
On March 17 and 18, Rasmussen surveyed 750 likely Montana voters about the 2014 U.S. Senate race and found that Republican candidate Steve Daines is starting with a huge advantage.
On the Januray 20 episode of the Talk Back Show, former Montana Lt. Governor and Democratic Senate candidate John Bohlinger said that if John Walsh was appointed to the U.S. Senate, he would likely withdraw his candidacy. Today, March 10, is the final day for Senate candidates to withdraw and Bohlinger said he has no plans of backing out of the race now.
Former Lieutenant Governor John Bohlinger may be jumping out of the race to be the next U.S. Senator from Montana if his democratic primary competitor John Walsh is chosen as a political appointment.
