Democrats: Greg Gianforte must quit House race

Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont rallies for Democrat Rob Quist in Missoula, Montana.

Jessica Chase, president of Bruins Elect and third-year political science student, said her club is campaigning for candidates in Georgia and Montana because local elections for Los Angeles municipal and school board positions finished earlier this month.

With voters less than a day away from heading to the polls for a special election to fill an open U.S. House seat in Montana, President Donald Trump has recorded a robocall making a last-minute pitch for the Republican candidate. Polls thus far have shown Gianforte with a single-digit lead over Quist.

A reporter for The Guardian was allegedly assaulted by a Republican congressional candidate.

Gianforte’s campaign said it has raised about $4.6 million, including a last-minute loan of $500,000 from Gianforte. Gov. Bullock and Senator Jon Tester also stumped for Quist in Helena and Great Falls over the weekend as well. “It turns out that being from New Jersey isn’t an asset in Montana”. “People are asking, can a rural state – a small population – can people come together to take on the big-money interests that divide this country?” (If you prefer PayPal, use this link.)

“One reason that campaigns go negative is to try to convince other voters not to necessarily vote for you, but just have those voters stay home who might vote for your opponent”, Johnson said. “I want to help Donald Trump drain the swamp back there”.

On Thursday, Quist and his campaign will bank on backing from Montana’s largest county.

Gianforte moved to Montana 24 years ago from Pennsylvania, starting a software company that Oracle purchased in 2011 for $1.5 billion.

Greg Gianforte is the favorite to hold onto Interior secretary Ryan Zinke’s vacated spot in the lower chamber.

Tides may be turning for Democrats.

Sielski eventually says Rob Quist has his vote. Republicans got in fright in April when they had to scramble to avoid a loss in deeply conservative Kansas.

“Don’t let Nancy Pelosi and the liberal Democrats take this seat out of Republican hands”, the Vice President said in his call, naming the House Minority Leader Pelosi (D-Calif.). The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee added 20 new Trump districts to its 2018 target list this week.

Gianforte is set to square off against Democrat Rob Quist for Montana’s only U.S. House seat in a special election tomorrow.

Gianforte said the litigation – since resolved – was over the location of an easement, not keeping people out.

Montana’s enforcement body on political campaigns doesn’t have jurisdiction over crimes, which the state law says a robo-call is.

In 2010, a Republican strategist was arrested in SC for making robo-calls for state House races.

Democrats are seeing a revitalized base after Democrat Jon Ossoff almost scored a win in a heavily conservative House district in Georgia last month and a better-than-expected performance in a special House election in Kansas earlier in April.
