Red-state Democrat Senator Jon Tester [D-MT] is taking some Republican-friendly positions as he aims to hold on to his seat this November. Tester on Thursday became the first Democrat to co-sponsor the Laken Riley act. It would require federal officials to arrest illegals who commit certain crimes until they can be deported. On Wednesday Tester used a committee hearing to confront Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin about the crisis at the southern border, something the senator called “unacceptable”.
