U.S. Senate

2006 U.S. Senate election in Montana

Tester was elected to the United States Senate by garnering the support of forty-nine percent of Montana voters in the 2006 election.[3] He was narrowly re-elected in 2012, despite Barack Obama losing Montana on the same night.

Obama era

During the Obama era, Tester has voted for the $789 billion Obama stimulus.[4] He has consistently justified his decision in voting for the useless legislation, saying it was a "step in the right direction".[5]

Trump era

While claiming to support the Second Amendment, Tester has consistently voted against President Donald Trump's pro-Second Amendment judicial nominees while in the past having consistently voted for Obama's pro-gun control nominees.[6]
