Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont., called on President Biden to exit the presidential race on Thursday night, becoming the second Senate Democrat to do so.
"Montanans have put their trust in me to do what is right, and it is a responsibility I take seriously. I have worked with President Biden when it has made Montana stronger, and I’ve never been afraid to stand up to him when he is wrong," he told a local Montana outlet. "And while I appreciate his commitment to public service and our country, I believe President Biden should not seek re-election to another term."

Tester is in one of the most competitive races in 2024 as he attempts to keep his seat in a state that has voted twice in favor of former President Trump.
