Daines Withdraws from Montana Senate Race to Block Dem Top Recruit

Kurt Alme filed to replace him as Democrats would have faced a crowded primary; Trump publicly backed Alme, while critics accused Daines of coronating a successor and sidelining voters. The move echoes a similar tactic used by Democrat Chuy Garcia in Illinois last year.

Daines exits Montana Senate race at the filing deadline, reshaping GOP field

Sen. Steve Daines withdrew from Montana’s 2026 U.S. Senate race just minutes before the filing deadline, leaving U.S. Attorney Kurt Alme as his handpicked successor and reshuffling a GOP field that also saw Rep. Ryan Zinke exit earlier. Daines had filed for reelection weeks earlier with about $4.9 million in the bank; Alme quickly announced his candidacy with endorsements from Daines, Trump and other GOP figures. Independent Seth Bodnar is also in the race and must gather signatures to qualify, creating a potentially unsettled contest that could affect Democrats’ prospects.

Montana’s Rural Health Windfall: A Bold Bet to Stabilize Care Amid Medicaid Shifts

Montana stands to receive about $233.5 million in 2026 from the federal Rural Health Transformation Program, with a potential total of roughly $1.2 billion by 2031 if funding remains level. The state’s plan centers on five initiatives—workforce development, facility sustainability, innovative care models, community health investment, and modern IT—plus a proposed Center of Excellence (costing about $418 million) to assess needs and guide service realignment. Physical infrastructure spending is largely restricted, but funds could cover equipment or IT upgrades; Montana will issue RFPs as projects are defined and submit a revised budget by Jan. 30, with an advisory committee to provide input during the process.
