Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont., raised $5 million in the most recent fundraising quarter as he gears up for another battleground race in 2024.
The Montana Democrat ended the quarter on June 30 with more than $10 million in his campaign account, according to fundraising numbers shared first with NBC News.
The Tester campaign noted that the haul from April through June is Tester’s best second-quarter fundraising total for a non-election year. Tester’s campaign now also has donations from every county in Montana.
“Montanans from all 56 counties donated to Jon Tester because they know he relentlessly fights for our Montana values every day,” Shelbi Dantic, Tester’s campaign manager, said in a statement. “From our rural communities to Indian Country to our cities and towns, Montanans are fired up to keep the dirt farmer from Big Sandy in the United States Senate.” 
Tester is a top GOP target next year, as one of three Democrats up for reelection in a state former President Donald Trump won in 2020. Democrats currently hold a 51-49 advantage in the Senate.
Last month, Tester picked up his first Republican challenger, former Navy SEAL Tim Sheehy. Top Republicans in the state have backed Sheehy, including Gov. Greg Gianforte, Rep. Ryan Zinke and Sen. Steve Daines, who chairs the National Republican Senatorial Committee. Sheehy, who founded an aerial firefighting company, is independently wealthy and could spend his own money on his bid.
GOP Rep. Matt Rosendale has also reportedly been weighing a Senate run, and he could have support from the deep-pocketed, conservative Club for Growth if he decides to run.

By Brad Snyder at ringside
In a lightweight special feature, 19-year-old southpaw Abdullah Mason (9-0, 8 KOs) impressively knocked out Alex de Oliveira (20-5, 14 KOs) in the second round. Time was 2:18.
Unbeaten junior wlterweight Tiger Johnson (9-0, 5 KOs) defeated Jonathan Montrel (15-2, 10 KOs) by UD (80-72, 80-72, 80-72) over eight rounds.
Dante Benjamin Jr. (7-0, 5 KOs) exploded out of the gate to score a knockdown, then get a stoppage right after his opponent, Mirady Zola got up.  The light heavyweight contest ended with the TKO at the 1:56 mark of the first round.  The loss drops Zola to (4-3, 1 KO).
Super middleweight DeAndre Ware (16-4-2, 9 KOs) won by six round unanimous decision (58-56, 59-55, 59-55) over Decarlo Perez (19-9-1, 6 KOs).
Rance Ward touched leather to the face of fellow junior middleweight Husam Al Mashhadi, often, over six rounds. Ward appeared fresh and was able to walk Mashhadi down during the six rounds to take the majority decision (57-57, 58-56, 59-55) victory and improve to (8-5-1, 2 KOs). Meanwhile, it’s back to the drawing board for Mashhadi (6-1, 6 KOs), who suffered his first loss.
Junior Middleweight Nicklaus Flaz (11-2, 7 KOs) won a close fight by majority decision (76-76, 78-74, 77-75) over previously unbeaten Jahi Tucker (10-1, 5 KOs). The fight, which went all eight rounds, had moments where both fighters showed some ability to throw combinations.
Junior Lightweight Tyler McCreary (18-2-1, 8KOs) got the hometown crowd excited by landing strong left hooks to the body, left hooks to the head, and a strong right cross to his opponent, Deivi Julio (26-14, 16 KOs). Julio, who fought hard, did not have enough to sway the judges. The judges all saw the fight in favor of McCreary (59-54, 57-56, 57-56).
Why isnt this garbage on TV anywhere??
It’s on ESPN+
de Oliveira was embarrassing. Just stood there smiling and waiting to be hit. The ref literally had to tell him to fight back in round 1.
As boxing fans we’re all used to shocking mismatches… but ESPN take it to a new level.
I will keep an eye on Mason and see what develops for him.
