Alani Bankhead, the Democratic nominee in Montana’s Senate race, criticized the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) for lacking support. The DSCC stated Bankhead's campaign isn’t viable, while independent candidate Seth Bodnar has raised significantly more funds. Both candidates split the anti-Republican Kurt Alme vote, complicating their chances of defeating him.

Susan Collins' re-election campaign faces uncertainty after Graham Platner withdrew from the race, forcing Democrats to select a new nominee. Collins' team had leveraged Platner's controversies to counter his challenge, but his exit complicates their strategy. Democrats plan a nominating convention, while Republicans aim to associate the new nominee with Platner's allegations.
