The Democrats’ Riskiest Midterm Play
Alani Bankhead, the Democratic nominee for Montana’s Senate seat, has refused to withdraw from the race despite efforts by the state Democratic Party to remove her name from the ballot. The party is considering legal strategies to avoid replacing her, risking a Republican victory as independent candidate Seth Bodnar splits the non-Republican vote.
