Montana Democratic Chair Resigns to Back Independent Bodnar Over Bankhead
Shannon O'Brien, chair of the Montana Democratic Party, resigned on Monday to endorse independent candidate Seth Bodnar for the U.S. Senate. She criticized party nominee Alani Bankhead for refusing to engage with party leaders and questioned her alignment with Democratic values. Bankhead rejected the endorsement, calling it a political maneuver, and vowed to remain in the race against Republican Kurt Alme.
