Senator Jon Tester, a Democratic lawmaker, recently made a statement regarding the endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris for president. Tester, who has not yet endorsed Harris, mentioned that the Democratic National Committee (DNC) process is still ongoing. This declaration came despite the fact that a majority of DNC delegates have already expressed their support for Harris.
When questioned about why he does not view the process as concluded given the significant backing for Harris, Tester, who is facing a tough reelection bid in a conservative state, responded by stating that his focus has been on Montana rather than the DNC endorsement. He indicated that based on the information he has received in recent days, the process is still ongoing.
Tester's stance on not endorsing Harris at this point in the race has raised eyebrows, especially considering the widespread support she has garnered within the DNC. His decision to keep the endorsement process open has left many wondering about the factors influencing his choice and the potential implications for the Democratic Party.
