UPDATE: March 4 at 11:20 p.m.Governor Greg Gianforte today released the following statement on Senator Steve Daines: “I’ve known Steve Daines for nearly 30 years. From growing a successful business together to serving Montanans together, I’m proud to call Steve a true friend and partner. Montana is stronger today because of Steve’s work to cut taxes, champion our agricultural industry internationally, and strengthen our national defense. He made a big impact and his leadership and service to our state will be missed.”UPDATE: March 4 at 8:45 p.m.Democratic candidate Reilly Neill is attending a public meeting to discuss data centers in Helena tonight, March 4.She issues the following statement on the resignation of Steve Daines from the 2026 campaign:“Daines dropping out of this race is another example of the Montana GOP being in complete disarray.The Montana GOP has done nothing but bend the knee to an administration that has hurt our farmers and ranchers and this is unacceptable. Daines, throughout his tenure, has completely ignored and voted against the working class and protected the billionaire class. His stepping down opens this field for the United States Senate and this is a good development for Montana. I’m running to work for universal healthcare, our farmers and ranchers, our main streets and public schools. I will continue to rail against data centers and protect our water and public lands. I will never take AIPAC money or corporate PAC money. This is a new era for Montana and I’m up for the challenge.”Montana’s senior U.S. Senator Steve Daines withdrew from the race for reelection on Wednesday just before the filing deadline for Montana's federal primaries.
