It might take ‘a lightning bolt from God’ to get these Senate Democratic hopefuls to bow for independents

Democrats Alani Bankhead and Julian Beaudion refuse to withdraw from Senate races in Montana and South Dakota despite pressure to step aside for independents Seth Bodnar and Brian Bengs, who have stronger fundraising and polling. Both candidates state they will not exit unless 'a lightning bolt from God' intervenes, risking Democratic hopes of regaining Senate control in deeply red states.
