MT-SEN: Steve Daines (R) will not seek reelection
https://www.politico.com/news/2026/03/04/steve-daines-montana-senate-retirement-2026-election-00813633Montana Sen. Steve Daines will not seek reelection, according to three people familiar with the matter granted anonymity to speak candidly, adding to a wave of retirements in the GOP ranks.
Daines’ impending announcement will make him the sixth Republican senator to choose not to seek reelection in this fall’s midterm elections, joining a list that includes North Carolina Sen. Thom Tillis, who announced his decision last year, and Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville, who is running for governor instead of seeking a second term. Sens. Joni Ernst, Cynthia Lummis, and Mitch McConnell, a former Senate majority leader, also announced they won’t seek reelection this cycle.
