Native America Calling
October 2 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am
Today, October 2 – Can Native Americans make a difference in Montana U.S. Senate race?
Republican U.S. Senate challenger Tim Sheehy is drawing fire from Montana tribal officials for comments deemed derogatory against the state’s Native American residents. A recording of the comments at a previous public appearance surfaced at the end of August. In a candidate debate, incumbent Sen. Jon Tester (D-MT) called on Sheehy to apologize. In a state with 70,000 Native Americans and seven federally recognized Native reservations, how the candidates appeal to Native voters could make a difference in the outcome of a close race.
Plus, we’ll get updates on Hurricane Helene damage from North Carolina.
