Montana Gov. Steve Bullock announced Monday that he will run for Senate, in a reversal that boosts Democrats’ fortunes in their bid to unseat Sen. Steve Daines (R-Mont.) and reclaim the Senate majority.

Republicans currently hold 53 seats in the chamber, and the popular Bullock’s entry into the Montana race would increase Democrats’ chances of picking up the four GOP seats they would need in order to reclaim control.

“I’ve always fought for the people of Montana,” Bullock said in a tweet. “Together, we expanded health care, protected public lands, banned dark money in politics & more. Now I’m taking that fight to the US Senate. Let’s make Washington work more like Montana.”

2. That's my Governor.

I may have to see about joining his campaign. I was disappointed when he filed to run for president and had hoped he would run for Daines' seat.

He'll be better in the US Senate than he thinks.
