Term limits in Montana prevent popular incumbent Steve Bullock from running again in 2020.

Tilt to Lean R. Red state and Tim Fox is a great candidate, but Dems are definitely putting up a fight here.

Definitely Tilt R due to the GOP partisan edge of the state but the Democrats have a fantastic local bench here and will probably make it close

Wait people think that an open seat in a state Trump won by 20 with a declared statewide officeholder running unopposed in the GOP primary is Tilt R?

Just wanted to confirm that lol. Trump is a pretty good fit for Montana and will carry the state easily, I don’t see how Dems hold this without the advantage of incumbency.

Why don't you ask governors Bob Brown and Rick Hill about this?

Lean R as of now

Two problems for dems, they will have to find a good candidate of course but the second problem is that they will have have to hope that Biden doesn’t lose the state by double digits

Safe R, obviously. Trump's going to win Montana in a landslide, and polarization (which doesn't apply to Kentucky because Bevin is unpopular) guarantees that Daines and Fox will get 99.9% of the votes he gets, at the very least.

There is no redistricting in this state, so it's a lost cause, Fox is gonna win.

This is patently false as two statewide officeholders have already filed on the Republican side (Tim Fox and Corey Stapleton) and Greg Gianforte may very well enter the race as well. If you’re mocking other users's predictions, you should at least get your facts straight.

Also not sure what exactly makes Trump such a good fit for Montana, but okay.

This one is tough. Probably tilt/lean R, but depends on the candidates. MT is Dem friendly in statewide races and I wouldn't be shocked to see another Dem gov elected. Hopefully Dems can recruit a strong contender to keep the seat.

Sorry winning by 21 and causing MT to be 23 points to the right of the NPV isn’t a good fit to you? MT was 8 to the right of the country in 2008 and 15 in 2012. I don’t see an argument that Trump did anything but extremely well in MT as holding much water.

Stapleton is a joke and won’t present much threat in the primary but you’re right, ‘unopposed’ was inaccurate. Fox is going to win easily though, and in the general I’ll be surprised if any Democrat comes within 10 of him.

Lean/Likely R. Lean R to give benefit to the incumbent party, and because Bullock is decently popular.

Pure toss-up for now.

The state elected two popular Democratic governors in a row and if Democrats put up a good candidate (hopefully Mike Cooney), they can pull it off again. I hope Steve Bullock jumps into the senate race if he doesn't get the nomination for president, what might benefit the gubernatorial candidate as well.
