The Montana Republican Party issued a statement on Monday “strongly rebuking” nine state senators who have formed a working majority coalition with 18 Democrats to effectively run the upper chamber from the floor, change rules, and pass legislation, often going against GOP majority leadership.

The statement said the senators’ actions have created obstacles for the Republican Senate majority and “undermined the will of the people.”

“Montanans voted for Republican governance, not compromises that shift power away from their elected majority. We believe these nine senators, at times, prioritized personal and political considerations over the broader priorities of their constituents. Their actions have contributed to a shift in influence that does not align with the platform they campaigned on,” the statement said.
