Blue wave felt in Montana, Republicans maintain legislative control

KALISPELL, Mont. - The larch trees have turned gold in western Montana, and politically, the state is looking a little more purple. The United States saw a significant blue wave politically last night, and Montana felt the ripples. Two years after republicans took every statewide seat and ousted an 18-year incumbent Democrat, Montana is sending a democrat to the House for the first time since the 1990s. Nonstop Local’s John Riley breaks down the purple turn. Montana political reporter Mike Dennison believes the state still leans conservative, but it is not so red that Democrats can’t be competitive, especially in the west. “Oh, absolutely. I mean, you look at the results from the 2024 election between Tim Sheehy and Jon Tester, while she was beating Tester statewide in that district,” he noted. “You know, John Tester beat Tim Sheehy by a couple thousand votes. So we have now Sam Forstag doing the same year in Flint.” Forstag saw the most success in the larger urban counties, which pushed him to victory in the late hours of election night. The Western House District saw significant interest from both inside and outside the state. President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and
