Former Democrat Senator John Tester blamed Kamala Harris for losing his Senate seat in 2024. 

Tester said, “the top of the ticket did not perform because I don’t think the top of the ticket embraced the issues that Americans were talking about.”

Tester also added, “And the truth is the top of the ticket has to at least be competitive if you’re gonna win in a red state or even a purple state.”

Fox News reported: 

Former U.S. Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont., linked his 2024 Senate loss to ex-Vice President Kamala Harris’ poor performance in the state.

Tester, who lost to former Navy SEAL Tim Sheehy in that race, declared on HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher” that the woke politics embraced by the top of the ticket are what doomed his performance in Montana.

“And the top of the ticket did not perform because I don’t think the top of the ticket embraced the issues that Americans were talking about,” he said. “We got wrapped up in all the cancel culture crap.”

“If you want to know the truth, the top of the ticket lost by what? 30-some points?  And the truth is the top of the ticket has to at least be competitive if you’re gonna win in a red state or even a purple state.”

Tester lost his Senate seat to Republican Tim Sheehy.

Tester had held the seat for three terms.

AP News reported:

Republican Tim Sheehy bolstered the GOP’s newly acquired Senate majority with a victory over three-term Democratic U.S. Sen. Jon Tester in a contest of national importance that featured a record-setting torrent of spending by the two sides.

Sheehy, a former U.S. Navy SEAL, closely aligned his campaign with Donald Trump and leading conservatives while painting Tester as a corrupt Washington insider. The Republican also promised to address the southern border crisis and curb government regulation.

His victory cements Republican dominance in Montana, where the party now controls every statewide political office. It also reflects a broader shift toward the GOP that has swept much of the American heartland over the past two decades.

Tester — a moderate and the chamber’s only working farmer — was the last member of his party to hold statewide office in Montana and the last Democratic senator from the five-state Northern Plains region. When he first entered office in 2006, Democrats held six of the region’s 10 Senate seats.

Even Democrats are admitting how bad Kamala Harris’ campaign was.
