Montana Senate Race Intensifies Amid Scrutiny of Tim Sheehy's Military Record

Allegations regarding Sheehy's service and injury claims challenge his credibility as the election approaches.

Tim Sheehy, a GOP candidate, faces growing scrutiny over claims of a bullet wound sustained in Afghanistan, which he now says was a cover story to protect a fellow soldier.
Reports suggest Sheehy initially told a park ranger he accidentally shot himself in a national park, contradicting his combat injury narrative.
Jon Tester, the Democratic incumbent, is using the controversy in campaign ads to question Sheehy's credibility.
Veterans supporting Tester have demanded Sheehy release his medical records to clarify the circumstances of his injury.
Despite the controversy, Sheehy leads Tester in polls in a state where former President Trump won by 16 points in 2020.
