Native America Calling: Can Native Americans make a difference in Montana U.S. Senate race?
Wednesday, October 2, 2024
Can Native Americans make a difference in Montana U.S. Senate race?
Republican U.S. Senate challenger Tim Sheehy is drawing fire from Montana tribal officials for comments deemed derogatory against the state’s Native American residents.
A recording of the comments at a previous public appearance surfaced at the end of August. In a candidate debate, incumbent Sen. Jon Tester (D-Montana) called on Sheehy to apologize.
In a state with 70,000 Native Americans and seven federally recognized Native reservations, how the candidates appeal to Native voters could make a difference in the outcome of a close race.
