Jon Tester is currently facing a tough battle to retain his Senate seat, but he has been evading the question of whether he supports Kamala Harris or Donald J. Trump for president.
Fortunately, we already know the answer.
In 2015, Tester was instrumental in encouraging Harris to run for Senate as the chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.
Tester stood by Harris in the Senate and voted to impeach Trump twice. He even endorsed violence against Trump, aligning himself with the dangerous rhetoric of political violence that has become prevalent recently.
In 2020, Tester applauded Harris as Joe Biden’s choice for vice president, referring to her as a “friend” and an “excellent pick” for a position that is just one step away from the presidency. He then went on to vote for Biden and Harris in the 2020 election.

Throughout her term, Harris cast more tie-breaking votes than any other vice president in history. Tester consistently sided with Harris on every tie-breaking vote.
The Tester-Harris collaboration led to reckless spending, soaring inflation, an open southern border contributing to crime and drug trafficking, special tax benefits for the wealthy in California, Harris’s home state, and job-killing policies associated with the Green New Deal.
As Tester maintains a presence on Capitol Hill without disclosing his endorsement for the upcoming presidential election, Montanans deserve transparency regarding his support for the radical agenda outlined by Kamala Harris.
Harris was designated as the “border czar” by the president with the intention of addressing the crisis at the southern border. Tester should convey his opinion on her performance to the people of Montana.
Harris advocates for decriminalizing illegal border crossings, eliminating ICE, and banning fracking, all of which could potentially lead to increased energy costs. Tester has yet to publicly disagree with Harris on these issues.
Harris is an advocate of the Defund the Police movement, opposes adding more police to the streets, and aims to abolish cash bail. Surprisingly, Tester has not condemned Harris for these viewpoints.
Additionally, Harris has expressed intentions to confiscate legally acquired firearms. Tester has not publicly criticized Harris’s stance on this matter either.
Tester’s avoidance in disclosing his stance on the upcoming presidential election raises questions about his credibility as a candid politician. His actions reflect a desperate attempt to retain power, rather than the straightforward nature he claims to embody.
Tester has consistently aligned himself with Harris and Biden, voted to impeach Trump, and endorsed violence against the former president. If Tester continues to evade answering questions, his record will speak for itself.
