Former Navy SEAL Tim Sheehy was the third Republican to pick up a US Senate Seat on Tuesday night.
Tim Sheehy easily defeated incumbant Democrat Jon Tester by at least 8 points in the Montana US Senate race.
Sheehy currently holds a 53-45 lead over the far left senator in their race. Sheehy leads by 8 percentage points with 87 percent of the vote counted.
This is a big pickup for Republicans.
There are still five races outstanding. Democrats in Arizona, Michigan, Nevada quit counting early last night.
Pennsylvania and Wisconsin have not called their senate races so far.
All of the remaining Senate races are competitive.
Sheehy posted this thank you on X following his win.
THANK YOU, MONTANA!!
