In a new memo to donors pointing to four favorable indicators for the GOP, the National Republican Senatorial Committee claimed there’s a “statistical tie” between GOP nominee Tim Sheehy and Democratic Sen. Jon Tester in the Montana Senate race.
The memo, sent to donors by NRSC Executive Director Jason Thielman and obtained by NOTUS, says that both candidates are polling at 46% in one of the most competitive seats on the map this cycle. (There hasn’t been a public poll in the race since Sheehy won the GOP nomination on June 4, and the last poll was from March.)
The memo also touts the turnout in the primary elections, with Republicans voting in significantly larger numbers than Republicans.
