jon tester now occupies mike mansfield's seat in the united states senate. in his to reelection campaigns have each been a political miracle of sort, a democrat being reelected in the stout state that votes overwhelmingly republican for president, including twice voted for donald trump. democrats have been eagerly and very nervously awaiting jon tester's decision about running for a fourth term and trying to match mike mansfield term of service in the united states senate. the majority leader of the senate has no doubt been begging jon tester to run for reelection, because without jon tester the democrats know they really would not have any chance at all to hold on to that senate seat in montana. and every worked in the senate, i can tell you that i have never been surprised by senator announcing that he or she won't run for reelection when you work there, not running for reelection often makes more sense than running for reelection, because no matter how it might look from the outside, the day to day job is not glamorous. it can start at six a.m. and leave
