Do you think Brown and Tester are popular politicians in their states? Neither of those two were on the ballot in the last two presidential elections. Tester won by 4 points in 2012 despite Montana voting for Romney and he won by 4 points in 2018 in prime Trump time. Brown won by 6 points in 2012 and by 7 in 2018 in prime Trump time with Ohio being a massively red state by 2018 (popular vote overall in Ohio in 2018 was 52.27% Republican to 47% Democrat). These are not typical candidates and you shouldn’t hold them to typical standards. It would be great to dial down some of your pessismism you’ve relentlessly had since at least 2018 that has never panned out as you thought it would.
I think they’re both significant favorites to be re-elected, because if you couldn’t bounce them in prime Trump, it’s gonna be really hard to now. Their constituents know what they do for them based on being in the Senate for almost 20 years, and they also know what their opponents will not do for them by running on bat**** platforms. In Brown’s case, he’s a much heavier favorite to me, especially because his opponent is a clown. The primary hasn’t happened in Montana yet, but it will probably be House clown Matt Rosendale running against Tester, who lost to him in 2018, and his record is wow in the House.
EDITED TO ADD: Correction, it looks like Rosendale decided to run and dropped out after Trump endorsed someone else. The one they’re behind is Tim Sheehy, with all the Senate class clowns and Trump backing him.
One last edit is adding this doozy of a screenshot of Sheehy’s endorsements. This is not going to go well for him at all vs. Tester.
