Buttigieg endorses independent in Montana Senate race with a Democrat still on the ballot

Pete Buttigieg's endorsement of independent Seth Bodnar in Montana's Senate race signals a strategic pivot aimed at thwarting the Republican candidate's chances. While a Democrat is still on the ballot, Buttigieg's support for Bodnar highlights concerns that the Democratic nominee may not be the best candidate to win against the Republican. This move underscores a broader strategy within the party to consolidate votes against a likely GOP victory, reflecting the race's significance in maintaining Democratic control of the Senate.
