Tester has been trailing in the polls for some time now. His re-election bid is dire.





Senate Democrats have confirmed 205 lifetime judges under the Biden administration. There are 21 nominees waiting for a floor vote, six waiting for a committee vote and nine awaiting a committee hearing.
234 federal judges were confirmed under the Trump administration.
Democrats are proud that 62% of their confirmed judges are people of color and 64% are women. They have made a point to nominate lawyers with experience in civil rights, public defense and the labor movement.
