New ad highlights Republicans’ criticism of Jon Tester’s backing of Biden.
National Republicans Target Sen. Jon Tester’s Ties to President Biden in New Ad
The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) has launched a new television ad aimed at highlighting Senator Jon Tester’s support for President Joe Biden. With Tester facing a tough Senate reelection campaign in 2024, the NRSC hopes to weaken his chances in deep-red Montana.
“Joe Biden’s policies are crushing Montanans, but Jon Tester continues to support him. Montanans deserve a leader who will stand up to Biden, not be his biggest cheerleader,”
– NRSC spokeswoman Maggie Abboud
The ad features a video clip of Tester endorsing Biden, stating, “Joe’s the right guy for this country. He’s the right guy for president.” The narrator then points out that Tester has voted with Biden 91% of the time, according to FiveThirtyEight.
“Even after all that, Tester is still standing by Joe’s side.”

The ad also includes another video clip of Tester praising Biden, saying, “Joe Biden, he’s absolutely 100% with it. He’s doing a good job.”
Republicans view Montana as a crucial opportunity for a Senate pick-up in 2024, given former President Donald Trump’s significant victory in the state in 2020. NRSC Chairman Steve Daines and other Republicans are rallying behind former Navy SEAL Tim Sheehy as a potential challenger to Tester. However, Representative Matt Rosendale, who narrowly lost to Tester in 2018, is also considering a rematch.

National Republicans have identified Montana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia as key states for retaking control of the Senate in 2024. These states have Democratic incumbents up for reelection, and Republicans only need to gain two seats to secure a majority, as Democrats currently hold a slim 51-49 margin.
In the second quarter of 2023, Tester’s reelection campaign announced a record-breaking $5 million in fundraising, surpassing his previous non-election-year record. The campaign filings revealed that Tester has $10.5 million on hand for his reelection bid.
