Montana Sen. Steve Daines Makes a Surprising Announcement

Republican U.S. Sen. Steve Daines of Montana has announced that he’s not running for reelection.

Daines posted a video on X explaining his decision.

He reflected on his work building a conservative majority in the Supreme Court, delivering a large tax cut, and unleashing energy dominance, he said in the video.

President Donald Trump praised Daines for his work in the Senate and House in a Truth Social post.

Trump said that Daines will pass the torch to Kurt Alme, U.S. attorney.
