It's official. The influx of Republicans fleeing nearby "heavy-handed" Blue states has made an impact.
Montana has officially solidified itself as a red state, ending a long period of Democratic leadership with the ousting of the last statewide Democrat in the 2024 election.
Montana's first two senators, selected after joining the union in November 1889, were Republican. The state elected another set of Republicans to the Senate in the early 1900s, but Montana would not see another GOP pair elected to the chamber until 2024 – more than 100 years later.
And for the first time since 1897, Montana is seeing a sweep of Republican leadership across the Senate, governorship and congressional seats.
