Vulnerable Montana senator won't commit to re-election bid: 'Retire or lose' says state GOP
Sen. Jon Tester refuses to say whether he will seek re-election in 2024

Sen. Jon Tester, the only Democrat to hold statewide office in Montana, will not commit to a re-election bid just yet. The Montana senator will be up for re-election to a fourth term in 2024, and Republicans have their eyes on picking up this seat as they fight to regain a Senate majority next cycle.
During a Sunday appearance on NBC’s "Meet the Press," the Montana Democrat was pressed on his re-election ambitions, but refused to say whether he would seek re-election in 2024.
A spokesperson for the senator’s office told Fox News that Tester would make a final determination after the New Year.
Tester is considered one of the most vulnerable Democratic incumbents next election cycle, representing a state that voted for former President Trump by +16 points in 2020 and saw a string of GOP victories in the 2022 midterm elections.
