Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is behind the mysterious group attacking the top Republican Senate candidate in Montana, his political action committee confirmed Friday.
Last Best Place PAC has spent nearly $6 million in just five months on television ads against Tim Sheehy, a Montana businessman seeking the Republican nomination.
Sheehy is leading in primary polls over likely challenger Rep. Matt Rosendale and is widely considered the more competitive candidate in a general election against incumbent Sen. Jon Tester.
Sheehy has been endorsed by the National Republican Senatorial Committee, which seeks to avoid a drawn-out primary.
"Democrats know Jon Tester will lose if Tim Sheehy is the nominee." Most of Last Best Place PAC's ads against Sheehy have focused on his business career.
Senate Majority PAC spent millions of dollars in the last election cycle's Republican primaries, donating money to what it perceived to be the weaker candidate.
New Hampshire Republican Don Bolduc, who challenged Democratic senator Maggie Hassan, enjoyed more than $3 million in support from the group.
