Bankhead refuses to bow out, keeping Montana Senate race split

Montana’s Democratic Senate nominee Alani Bankhead declined to exit the race by Monday’s deadline to clear the way for independent Seth Bodnar, a move likely to keep a crowded field and benefit Republicans. Bodnar, backed by former Sen. Tester, pressed for a smoother independent bid, but Bankhead said she’s in to win and will stay through November; polling shows Bodnar competitive with Republican Kurt Alme, but Alme leads by more than 20 points when Bankhead remains on the ballot, underscoring Democrats’ uphill path to flip the seat.

Red-state Democrats Dig In as Independents See Slim Path to Senate

Democrats Alani Bankhead in Montana and Julian Beaudion in South Dakota say they will not exit their races for independents Bodnar and Bengs, despite pressure from national and local Democrats; withdrawal deadlines loom and experts warn a crowded, uphill race in two Trump-won states could jeopardize any path to a Senate majority, while independents could caucus with Democrats if they win.

Grandfather recounts being launched into the air by a Yellowstone bison attack

65-year-old Carl Isom-McDaniel says a 2,000-pound Yellowstone bison picked him as a target and launched him into the air during a July incident captured on video, leaving him with a broken hip after a hard landing; doctors describe the injury as resulting from the landing, not a direct ram. Experts note bison can injure people in Yellowstone, especially during mating season when aggression rises, and the National Park Service urges visitors to stay at least 25 yards away and not approach for photos.
