Balance of power: Trump campaign slams Sen Tester as 'radically out of touch' after abortion ad rollout
Former President Trump’s campaign slammed Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont., as “radically out of touch” after the vulnerable Democrat rolled out several new ads focused on abortion, claiming his opponent would allow abortion to be banned without exceptions.
“Kamala Harris and Democrats like Jon Tester are radically out of touch with the majority of Americans in their support for abortion up until birth and even after birth, and forcing taxpayers to fund it,” Trump spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said in a statement to Fox News Digital.
The Montana Democrat’s first ad last week featured a woman claiming the Republican Senate candidate in Montana, Tim Sheehy, would let an abortion ban be implemented, even in a situation where the procedure is necessary “to save a woman’s life or health.”

In two additional video ads on the subject, women tell viewers that Sheehy would let politicians ban abortion “with no exceptions” and criminalize women.
However, Sheehy has reiterated that he believes in exceptions to any abortion limitations. “I’ll always protect the three rights for women. Rape, incest and the life of the mother,” he said during a debate with Tester in June.
In a May interview with Montana Public Radio (MPR), the Republican candidate said, “I am proudly pro-life and support commonsense protections for when a baby can feel pain, as well as exceptions for rape, incest and the life of the mother.”

He added that “any further limits must be left to each state.”
The Trump campaign has also reiterated its support for abortion being addressed on a state-by-state basis, rather than adopting a one-size-fits-all policy on the hot-button issue for the entire country.

It emphasized this once again in its statement to Fox News Digital, with a spokesperson saying, “President Trump has long been consistent in supporting the rights of states to make decisions on abortion.”
On Sheehy’s campaign website, he wrote, “It’s unfortunate that what gets lost in this debate is that Jon Tester supports elective abortion on demand up until the moment of birth.”

“Think about that again: Jon Tester supports aborting a healthy, full-term baby the day before it’s due. That is the extreme position here.”
Asked whether he supports any limitations on abortion at all, Tester’s campaign did not provide comment to Fox News Digital.
Tester is running for re-election in Montana, which voted twice for Trump. The race between him and Sheehy is considered one of the most competitive in the country, with non-partisan political handicapper the Cook Political Report rating it a “Toss Up.”

Montana State announces spring football schedule; Nolan Askelson joins coaching staff
BOZEMAN — Montana State will begin spring football practices March 24.
The reigning national champion Bobcats will hold 12 practices, two scrimmages and the Sonny Holland Spring Classic over the course of five weeks. The Sonny Holland Spring Classic is scheduled for Saturday, April 25.
Also on the schedule is the MSU Pro Day, which will be held April 2.
In addition to releasing the spring practice schedule, Montana State confirmed the addition of Nolan Askelson to the coaching staff. Askelson, a Billings Senior High School alum, will be an assistant defensive line coach for Bobby Daly, who is returning as Montana State’s defensive coordinator after spending last season at UTEP.
Askelson was a standout linebacker for the Bobcats, capping his MSU career with first-team All-Big Sky Conference honors in 2023. He played in four games as a true freshman in 2018 before becoming a regular rotation player in 2019. An injury shortened his 2021 season, but he played 11 games in 2022 and finished with 64 tackles.
As a senior in 2023, Askelson wore Montana State’s legacy No. 41 jersey and led the team with 84 tackles, eight tackles-for-loss and two sacks.
In high school, he was a two-time all-state selection for Senior and helped the Broncs win Class AA state championships in 2016 and 2017.
