Incumbent Sen. Steve Daines' surprise withdrawal from Montana's open 2026 Senate race on March 4, just before the filing deadline, shifted focus to his endorsed successor Kurt Alme, a former U.S. Attorney backed by President Trump, Gov. Gianforte, and new Sen. Tim Sheehy. Pre-withdrawal polls from American Pulse showed Daines leading Democrats like Reilly Neill by 9-27 points, reflecting Montana's Republican tilt after Tim Sheehy's 2024 victory over Jon Tester and strong GOP midterm fundamentals. With fragmented Democratic primaries and no post-dropout surveys eroding the edge, traders price an 82.5% implied probability for a Republican win ahead of the June 2 primaries, viewing Alme as well-positioned despite minor rating adjustments from Solid to Likely Republican by forecasters like Inside Elections.
