  "account": "Montana Republican Kurt Alme secured a victory in Wednesday's U.S. Senate election, outpacing independent candidate Seth Bodnar and Democrat Alani Bankhead. Alme's triumph marks his replacement of departing Republican Sen. Steve Daines, who announced in March he wouldn't seek a third term. Both Daines and former President Donald Trump endorsed Alme, with Trump praising the U.S. attorney for possessing the highest level of aptitude and talent. Following a three-way race, the Associated Press officially declared Alme the winner at 2:54 a.m. EST.",
