Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mont.) announced on Wednesday that he will run for reelection in 2024, a win for Democrats as the party seeks to defend a seat in the Republican-leaning state.

In a statement on Twitter, the 66-year-old said one of his campaign’s goals includes demanding that the government  stand up for veterans and “lower costs for families.”
