Republicans think Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mont.) overstepped in his opposition to President Trump’s Veterans Affairs pick, and that it could breathe new life into his Montana Senate race.
Tester hasn’t been seen as a top target for Senate Republicans in a cycle where they have numerous pickup opportunities, but Republicans say that may have changed this week.
Trump is vowing that Tester will pay a steep political price for his takedown of VA nominee Ronny Jackson, especially given the president’s 2016 victory in Montana by 20 points — and it’s an argument being echoed by Republicans.
