Sheehy & Tester: Senatorial Race 2024

Published | Video Starts at 16:56

Senator Tester, what we saw Vladimir Putin do to Ukraine is unacceptable as a nation. We cannot allow that to happen. That's why I voted for funding for Ukraine, for Israel, and for the Indo Pacific. Look, China wants to replace us as the economic power and military power in this world. It is important to note that before Tim Sheehy ran for this office, he wanted to put troops in Ukraine after he decided to run for this office. (16:56–17:02)
