Montana Gov. Steve Bullock is making plans to run for the US Senate, telling Democratic leaders that he intends to declare his candidacy in the coming days, a decision that improves the party's chances for winning a majority in the Senate
Two Democratic officials familiar with the matter tell CNN that Bullock, who briefly ran for president in 2020, is now opening a door that he repeatedly insisted was closed. For months, Bullock bluntly said he had no interest in serving in the US Senate and would not be on the Montana ballot this fall.In recent weeks, Bullock's resistance to a Senate campaign has eased, the officials said, with his family now warming to the idea.
Jon Tester told CNN that he doubted Bullock would run but said he gets asked four or five times a day about it. He said he would ask Bullock about it over the weekend, calling him a"great governor" who would make a fine senator."I'd say no, he's not gonna, but he hasn't told me to go to hell and never call him back again," Tester said at the time.Top Democratic officials and strategists have long hoped Bullock would run, and he's likely to clear the field.
