2008 United States Senate election in Montana

Common card · No. 339944

The 2008 United States Senate election in Montana was held on November 4, 2008. Incumbent Senator Max Baucus won re-election to a sixth term in a landslide, winning more than 72% of the vote and carrying every county in the state, despite Republican John McCain's narrow victory in the state in the concurrent presidential election. Baucus later resigned his seat on February 6, 2014, after the Senate confirmed him to as U.S. ambassador to China, having already announced his intention to retire at the end of his term on April 23, 2013. As of 2024, this is the last time Democrats won the Class 2 Senate seat in Montana, and the last Montana U.S. Senate race where any candidate won every county.
