Outside cash flows into Montana congressional race
Democrats may be spending in the Montana race because they don't want to again be accused of abandoning one of their candidates, said David Wasserman, who handicaps House races for the Cook Political Report.
"It's to take a shot but also to appease Democrats who want to compete in every single race," Wasserman said. "If Quist comes within single digits of Gianforte, it would be a good sign for Democrats nationally."
Montana Democrats like Jessica Karjala, who serves in the state House and will be campaigning across her Billings district for Quist, say the money from the party may not match Republican spending, but it's well-timed as the election draws near.
"The $400,000 might be peanuts by comparison, but it's better than a sharp stick in the eye," Karjala said.
