Steve Daines (R-Mont.) has announced he will not seek reelection to his third term in the US Senate. This is the sixth Republican senator to decide against running for reelection ahead of the November midterm elections. Daine, who served as chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee between 2023 and 2025, helped Republicans flip four Senate seats in the 2024 cycle. President Trump praised the Montana Republican for his service and endorsed Kurt Alme as his possible successor. Alme, the US Attorney for the District of Montana, filed to run for Dainese' seat after the senator formally withdrew from the race.
